We make health happen

At Bupa, our purpose is simple – helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. We use our expertise in health and care to support millions of people every day.

As a CTEM Offensive Security Manager, you’ll play an important part in protecting that mission. You’ll help us stay one step ahead of cyber threats by testing how resilient our systems really are, and by guiding improvements that keep our people, customers and data safe.

This is a hands-on leadership role within our cyber security team. You’ll lead red teaming and breach and attack simulation activities, using real-world attacker techniques to uncover risks and strengthen our defences. Your work will help make sure we’re not just secure on paper, but secure in practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop our Offensive Security and Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) team
• Plan and deliver advanced testing, including:
• Red team exercises
• Adversary simulation
• Purple team activities (where attackers and defenders work together to improve security)
• Attack path and control effectiveness testing
• Use threat intelligence to keep testing aligned with real-world risks
• Identify vulnerabilities and explain what they mean in a clear, practical way
• Work closely with teams across cyber security, engineering and infrastructure to improve controls
• Support Security Operations (SOC) and detection teams to strengthen how we identify and respond to threats
• Influence and guide remediation so improvements are realistic and effective
• Produce clear reporting for both technical teams and senior stakeholders
• Continuously improve tools, processes and ways of working across offensive security

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in offensive security, such as red teaming, penetration testing or security engineering
• Experience leading or delivering complex, enterprise-scale security testing
• Confidence managing or mentoring technical teams
• Hands-on experience with breach and attack simulation tools and security testing frameworks
• A good understanding of how attackers operate, including common tactics and techniques
• Experience working across different environments such as cloud platforms, networks, identity systems and endpoints
• Ability to explain complex technical issues in a simple, clear way
• Strong collaboration skills, with experience working across multiple teams
• A practical, solution-focused approach to improving security
• Relevant certifications desirable (such as OSCP, CREST, CISSP or similar)
