About This Position
At Conversant Group, we’re not just rewriting the playbook on cybersecurity—we’re tearing it up and starting fresh. As our Assessment Lead, you’ll be in the driver’s seat, managing Conversant Group’s proprietary security and resiliency assessments from start to finish. If you’re passionate about making a difference, about changing how companies understand, evaluate, and remediate risk—if you’re a consultative, technical myth-buster driven to save jobs and make the world a safer place—then Athena7 is where you need to be.
You’ll be on the frontlines, working directly with clients and our elite team of SMEs. Leading kick-off meetings, overseeing the entire assessment process, and delivering reports that don’t just point out risks—they map out the steps to harden defenses.
