Cybersecurity Assurance Manager

About the Company:

Riyadh Air (RX), headquartered in the Saudi Capital, is the new national airline that’s shaping the future of flying.

It seeks to lead the aviation industry by transforming Saudi Arabia into a global aviation and trade hub – a digitally native airline that will connect the kingdom to more than 100 destinations.

Do you have the technical depth and leadership drive to strengthen cybersecurity resilience for a next‑generation global airline?

We’re looking for a highly skilled individual to lead Riyadh Air’s cybersecurity assurance and offensive security capabilities by proactively identifying, validating, and reducing cyber risk across the organisation.

In this role, you’ll lead vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, red team operations, and threat modelling across network, application, cloud, and infrastructure environments.

You’ll work closely with SOC, DFIR, technology, and engineering teams to embed security into system design, delivery pipelines, and operational processes.

In addition, you'll be both strategic and hands‑on, equally comfortable leading programmes and deep‑diving into technical assessments.

Importantly, you will turn technical findings into action by driving remediation, improving detection capabilities, enforcing security requirements within SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring assurance activities meet regulatory and industry standards.

*Join us in shaping a secure foundation for the future of air travel; where proactive defence meets innovation, and trust is built by design.*

Degree qualified, you are expected to demonstrate 7+ years of relevant experience in offensive security, penetration testing, or cybersecurity assurance, with a deep understanding of threat modelling, vulnerability management, and secure SDLC practices.

We’d love to hear from you even more if you have a strong track record in offensive security, cybersecurity assurance, and technical risk management, ideally within large, regulated or complex environments.

This is your opportunity to help protect and shape the future of air travel.

Bring your expertise and show us why you can own this position within Riyadh Air.
