About the Organisation

A high-growth security consultancy working across government, space programmes, and FTSE 100 organisations is expanding its offensive security function. The team delivers complex, high-impact testing and simulation work for clients across the UK, US, and Europe. With a strong learning culture, excellent retention, and a track record of delivering cutting-edge work, this is an opportunity to develop quickly in a technically challenging environment.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Penetration Tester / Red Team Consultant with 1–3 years’ experience who thrives on variety, problem-solving, and continuous learning. You’ll deliver offensive security assessments, red team operations, and threat-led simulations across a wide range of sectors, often on weekly, part-time client engagements.

The role is remote, with occasional client visits — though none have been required in the last five years.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver red team, purple team, and wider offensive security engagements.
• Conduct attack simulations, threat modelling, and targeted technical testing.
• Carry out occasional physical security assessments.
• Produce high-quality penetration testing and red team reports.
• Communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support the development of offensive security services and internal methodologies.
• Contribute to R&D on tools, techniques, and emerging threats.
• Maintain a strong learning mindset and proactively grow technical capability.

Required Skills & Experience

• 1–3 years’ experience in penetration testing, red teaming, or offensive security.
• OSCP certification
• Strong understanding of operating systems, networks, and application security.
• Practical offensive security experience: exploitation, AD attacks, recon, tooling, etc.
• Solid documentation and reporting skills.
• Ability to articulate vulnerabilities, impact, and remediation confidently.
• Desirable: exposure to ISO/IEC 42001 or experience as an auditor in AI governance.

What We Offer

• Annual £5,000 development fund per person
• Excellent retention, strong pay progression, and a supportive technical culture.
• Work on government, defence, space, and major corporate engagements.
• Remote-first working across UK/US/EU clients.
• Standard hours: 9am–5pm, Monday–Friday.
• 20 days holiday.
