What This Role Is NOT
To avoid misunderstandings:
- This is NOT purely a managerial role. We expect you to contribute technically 30% of the time.
- This is NOT a pure project manager role. You need to understand content, not just the process.
- This is NOT a strategic advisory role without delivery responsibility. You deliver, not just advise.
- This is NOT a role with a large team of 10+ people. You lead a small, senior team – you need to be a "playing coach."
- This is NOT a "slide factory." We do real work with real impact.

- Ability to communicate with security leadership and management—not just technically, but in business terms as well.
- Experience in mentoring junior/mid-level team members.
- Proficient in English at a working level (C1); Czech is an advantage.
- Ability to structure complex problems and propose pragmatic solutions.
- Experience in preparing proposals, labor estimation, and scope definition.

- Experience in building or significantly developing a security team/practice.

- Development of leadership skills in an environment where you make a difference.
- Direct contact with senior security stakeholders at clients.
