• Direct experience supporting or executing social engineering exercises, particularly phishing or smishing simulations, strongly preferred.
• Security+, CySA+, or a comparable cybersecurity certification preferred, but not required.
• Experience following established processes and executing recurring operational activities.
• Experience compiling, validating, or analyzing cybersecurity or operational data; familiarity with KPI/KRI or management reporting is beneficial.
• No experience with a specific social engineering platform or technology is required.

Key Skills:
