Contribute to leading-edge security and resilience efforts, advancing protective strategies and propelling continuous improvement.

As an Assessments & Exercises Senior Associate in the Cybersecurity and Technology Controls line of business, you will contribute significantly to enhancing the firm's cybersecurity or resiliency posture by using industry-standard assessment methodologies and techniques to proactively identify risks and vulnerabilities in people, processes, and technology. Design and deploy risk-driven tests and simulations and inform analysis to clearly outline root-causes. In this role, you will evaluate preventative controls, incident response processes, and detection capabilities, and advise cross-functional teams on security strategy and risk management.

JPMC's Assurance Operations organization is looking to expand its Cybersecurity Red Team with a Red Team Operator position. The primary focus of this role will be to perform hands-on offensive activities as part of Red Team engagements against critical JPMC assets. The successful candidate will have a proven track record in conducting network exploitation operations, to include Red Team operations. Additionally, the candidate will be able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge and experience around computer networking fundamentals, modern threats and vulnerabilities, attack methodologies, and penetration testing tools. This position is anticipated to require the use of one or more High Risk Role (HRR) systems, which mandates successful completion of enhanced screening, including criminal and credit background checks, before starting employment and annually thereafter.

  • Evaluate controls for effectiveness and impact on operational risk, as well as opportunities to automate control evaluation
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to develop comprehensive assessment reports - including detailed findings, risk assessments, and remediation recommendations - making data-driven decisions that encourage continuous improvement
  • Utilize threat intelligence and security research to stay informed about emerging threats, vulnerabilities, industry best practices, and regulations. Apply this knowledge to enhance the firm's assessment strategy and risk management. Engage with peers and industry groups that share threat intelligence analytics


Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity or resiliency, with demonstrated exceptional organizational skills to plan, design, and coordinate the development of offensive security testing, assessments, or simulation exercises
  • Knowledge of US financial services sector cybersecurity or resiliency organization practices, operations risk management processes, principles, regulations, threats, risks, and incident response methodologies
  • Ability to identify systemic security or resiliency issues as they relate to threats, vulnerabilities, or risks, with a focus on recommendations for enhancements or remediation, and proficiency in multiple security assessment methodologies (e.g., Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework), offensive testing tools, or resiliency testing equivalents
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and report writing skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders across various functions and levels
  • Strong understanding of the following: Windows/Linux/Unix/Mac operating systems; OS and software vulnerability and exploitation techniques; commercial or open-source offensive security tools for reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post exploitation (e.g. Cobalt Strike, Metasploit, Burp Suite); networking fundamentals (all OSI layers, protocols); Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers in both private and public (AWS, Azure) environments; DevOps; and familiarity with interpreting log output from networking devices, operating systems, and infrastructure services
  • Ability to collaborate with high-performing teams and individuals throughout the firm to accomplish common goals


Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

  • Preferred qualifications include: Intelligence Community background, relevant certifications such as those offered by Offensive Security (OSCP, OSEP, OSED, OSEE, OSCE), CREST (Certified Simulated Attack Specialist, Registered Penetration Tester, Certified Infrastructure Tester), SANS (GPEN, GXPN, GWAPT), knowledge of malware packing, obfuscation, persistence, exfiltration techniques, and understanding of financial sector or other large security and IT infrastructures
  • Technical knowledge or experience developing proof of concept exploits and in-house scripting, using interpreted languages such as Python, Ruby, or Perl, compiled languages such as C, C++, C#, or Java, and security tools or technology such as Firewalls, IDS/IPS, Web Proxies, DLP and the ability to articulate and visually present complex penetration testing and Red Team results is highly desirable
  • Experience with Agile and can work with at least one of the common frameworks is highly desired
