Project Coordinator

Position Summary

Our team is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive communicator with past experience in project coordination.

A project coordinator in the penetration test department is the first line of communication for our customers. The project coordinator is responsible for guiding all assessments through the production lifecycle. They will prepare and assign work for a group of analysts, track analyst progress to ensure deadlines are met, communicate project statuses to all stakeholders, and maintain records on all testing activities.

Department Culture

SecurityMetrics strives to develop a Work-to-Live rather than a Live-to-Work culture. The penetration test department is no exception; we love what we do and we love the team, but we also love signing off and being present at home at the end of the day.

Our team members are our greatest strength. It's not unusual to see us brainstorming together to solve a problem. We have different hobbies, education and work backgrounds, and fandoms. For example, some people in our department prefer Star Trek instead of Star Wars. While these people are tragically misinformed, we value the diversity of that worldview.
