Director – Offensive Security & Assurance

Posting Description: Director, Offensive Security & Assurance ---------------------------------------------

Function

Proactive Threat Operations, CybersecurityRole Overview -----------------

The Director, Offensive Security & Assurance will lead Aon’s global offensive security and security assurance capabilities within Proactive Threat Operations (PTO). This role is responsible for proactively identifying exploitable security weaknesses, validating defensive controls against real-world adversary techniques, and driving findings through to measurable improvements in Aon’s security posture. This leader will evolve traditional penetration testing and point‑in‑time assessments toward a more continuous, threat‑informed model incorporating adversary emulation, purple teaming, attack‑path analysis, control validation, and targeted security assurance. A core objective of the role is to answer, on an ongoing basis: Can an attacker successfully exploit this path today, and if so, what are we doing to eliminate it? The Director will partner closely with Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting, Vulnerability & Exposure Management, Applied Security Research, AC3/SOC, Security Engineering, Identity & Access Management, Cloud, application security, and broader technology teams. Success will be measured by validated risks identified, attack paths eliminated, controls improved, detections strengthened, and remediation verified — not simply the number of assessments completed or findings produced.Aon is in the business of better decisions ----------------------------------------------
