Job description

Who Are We:

PortSwigger is a company built around a simple belief: security should empower people, not slow them down. We create world‑class tooling that helps security teams and developers uncover and fix real vulnerabilities, the kind that actually matter. Our products are crafted with care, backed by deep research, and shaped by a relentless drive to make the web safer for everyone.

We’re a successful, engineering‑led organisation where small squads are empowered to take forward work in a suitable way, high‑leverage work. Curiosity fuels us, craftsmanship defines us, and mutual support keeps us growing together. Here, you’ll have real agency, clear direction, and the freedom to push boundaries, supported by thoughtful coaching and a culture that values learning as much as delivery.

The Culture Tribe:

The Culture tribe looks after people and the ways we work, you will have clear responsibility within the end‑to‑end people experience from Talent Acquisition and Onboarding to Swigger Success Champions and broader people programmes. Our mission is to create the conditions for everyone to do their best work: coaching leaders, running development and growth programmes, and stewarding the behaviours, rituals and ways of working that make PortSwigger special. We partner with tribes across the business to embed these behaviours and help people thrive every day.

The Mission:

We’re looking for a Talent Champion to provide a world‑class hiring experience that matches the quality of our culture. You’ll work with leaders and hiring teams to shape smarter, faster, and more inclusive hiring, with a mix of strategic insight, data fluency and hands‑on delivery.

You’ll work across the whole hiring lifecycle: from helping craft great job descriptions and candidate journeys, to spotting bottlenecks and coaching better decision‑making. You won’t just fill roles, you’ll improve the system.

The Challenge:

You’ll be joining at a pivotal time. We’re growing steadily, and we want our talent approach to stay ahead of the curve, not just react to it.

Your challenge is to:

• Help make our hiring process smoother, smarter, and more scalable
• Work collaboratively with hiring teams to diagnose issues and shape better decisions
• Use data to spot patterns and guide improvements
• Help embed consistent standards, without making things rigid
• Bring curiosity, ownership and a calm, constructive voice to every conversation

This role is ideal for someone who wants to step up into greater personal and strategic impact, but still enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck into the details.

Your Impact:

• Shape smarter systems: You’ll help design and embed core hiring processes, from interview design to data dashboards, and ensure they scale as we grow.
• Coach and support leaders: Help hiring teams build clarity and confidence, whether that’s writing better job descriptions, improving interview quality, or understanding market dynamics.
• Make data work: Treat metrics as a compass, not a scoreboard. You’ll use hiring data to diagnose issues, spot themes, and guide better decisions.
• Drive change thoughtfully: If something’s broken, you’ll fix it, not just patch it. You’ll help to lead change that sticks by bringing people with you.
  

Raise the bar, consistently: You’ll protect our hiring standards and help us stay true to what makes PortSwigger special, even as we scale.

What Will You Bring:

• Experience that fits: You’ve worked in‑house, embedded or in an RPO setup within a fast‑moving tech environment (3–5 years), and you’ve had exposure to the kind of challenges that comes with growing organisations, you’re comfortable spotting where processes can break and contributing to fixing them.
• Strategic rigour: You don’t just react, you analyse, reflect, and act with purpose. You use data to understand the story beneath the surface and suggest meaningful action.
• Systems thinking: You’ve helped to build or refine hiring processes, and understand how to embed changes that stick across different teams and tools.
• Strong collaborator: You work consultatively, manage tensions with empathy, and can nudge leaders toward better decisions without needing a mandate.
• Comfort with AI tools: You’ve used AI in hiring, not to replace judgement, but to speed up drafting, organise insights, or streamline workflow.
  

Owner mindset: You spot problems, dig in, and improve things. You care about impact, not just activity. And you keep the long game in mind.

Why PortSwigger:

• Meaningful responsibility: This is a chance to help shape and elevate how PortSwigger hires, not just fill seats.
• High‑trust culture: You’ll be trusted to do great work, supported to grow, and encouraged to think long‑term.
• Culture of quality: We care about doing things well. That includes our hiring systems.
• Brilliant people: You’ll work with curious, humble, and high‑performing people who genuinely want to do great work together.
  We are a passionate group of people from a diverse range of backgrounds who work together to produce amazing outcomes for our customers and our colleagues.
