Penetration Testing Lead

Reference: pz3rato50lq4ztpr4ht9

We are seeking an experienced Penetration Testing Lead to oversee and deliver high-quality security assessments across applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, networks, and emerging technologies. You will lead engagements from scoping and planning through to testing, reporting, remediation support, and client or stakeholder presentations. The role requires a hands-on security professional who can combine strong technical capability with effective leadership, clear communication, and a consistent focus on business risk.

Responsibilities will include defining testing methodologies and standards, reviewing rules of engagement, allocating resources, and providing technical guidance to penetration testers. You will perform and oversee manual and automated testing, validate vulnerabilities, assess exploitability and impact, and produce accurate, actionable reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. You will also support quality assurance activities, mentor and develop team members, contribute to tooling and process improvements, and collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, risk, and compliance teams to track remediation. Where required, you will assist with red team exercises, social engineering assessments, threat-led testing, and incident or vulnerability investigations.

Applicants should have substantial professional experience in penetration testing, offensive security, or a closely related discipline, including experience leading assessments or mentoring technical teams. Strong knowledge of web and mobile application security, network and wireless testing, Active Directory, cloud platforms, authentication mechanisms, and common attack techniques is expected. Experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, scripting languages, and security testing frameworks will be valuable. Relevant certifications such as OSCP, CREST, OSWE, OSEP, GXPN, or equivalent practical expertise are desirable. You should be able to demonstrate excellent report-writing, stakeholder management, prioritisation, and presentation skills, while maintaining professional integrity and a responsible approach to security testing.
