You
We’re looking for an experienced team lead who has worked closely with technical teams — ideally in the field of cybersecurity research. In this role, you'll be responsible for leading a team of researchers, setting priorities, supporting their growth, and improving how the team operates.
A strong understanding of technical topics — especially in cybersecurity — will help you guide the team effectively and collaborate across departments.
If you enjoy leading people, driving clarity, and helping technical teams do their best work, this could be the right role for you
WHAT WILL YOU DO
- Lead and support a team of cybersecurity researchers, helping set goals, manage priorities, and ensure high-quality output
- Work closely with business teams — editorial, SEO, product — to align research with broader company needs and strategy
- Oversee the production of accurate, well-researched content on cybersecurity tools, services, and vulnerabilities
- Make sure the team stays up to date with the latest trends, threats, and technologies in the cybersecurity space
- Help translate complex technical information into insights that are useful across different departments
- Support team growth by creating better ways to share knowledge, onboard new members, and build expertise
- Guide technical validation efforts — whether that’s fact-checking, hands-on testing, or coordinating with experts
- While not a hands-on role, a strong understanding of cybersecurity, scripting, or systems is a big advantage
WE EXPECT YOU TO HAVE
- Experience leading a technical, research, or content-focused team — you're confident in setting direction and motivating others
- Strong communication skills — you're able to work well with both technical experts and business stakeholders
- A thoughtful approach to setting goals, tracking progress, and keeping work aligned with company priorities
- Comfortable juggling multiple projects in a fast-paced, changing environment
- Background or solid understanding of cybersecurity tools, vulnerability research, scripting (e.g., Bash, Python), or system administration is a big plus
- Familiarity with threat modeling, secure coding basics, or technical testing is also helpful
- You care about the quality of your team’s work and know how to build an environment where people can do their best
AT MEDIATECH YOU WILL GET
- Paid sick days and private health insurance that includes dental, vision, health checks, and 80% coverage for 25 psychotherapy sessions
- Access to premium mental health apps, onsite workouts, and gym membership support — all available during parental leave too
- Learning budget for courses, conferences, and books — your growth is always backed
- Extra days off, thoughtful gifts, and bonuses to celebrate life’s milestones like birthdays, weddings, and new arrivals
- Pet-friendly, centrally located office with game zones, healthy snacks, and cozy spaces to unwind
- Fun company events, fitness challenges, and team-building activities that actually connect people
- Additional vacation days the longer you stay — because recharging is essential
GROSS SALARY
- From 4200 Gross/month. Keep in mind that we are open to discuss a different salary based on your skills and competencies.
