Senior Penetration Testing Consultant

Reference: vc8dusie6j655nxs3127

We are seeking a Senior Penetration Testing Consultant to deliver high-quality security assessments across a diverse range of technologies, applications, infrastructure, and cloud environments. In this role, you will plan and execute penetration tests, identify vulnerabilities, assess business impact, and provide clear, practical remediation guidance. You will work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to understand security objectives, agree testing scopes, manage expectations, and communicate findings effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Your responsibilities will include conducting web application, mobile application, API, network, wireless, cloud, and infrastructure penetration tests; performing vulnerability validation and exploit development where appropriate; producing detailed technical reports and executive summaries; and presenting findings to client teams and senior stakeholders. You will help define testing methodologies, maintain high standards of evidence and documentation, and contribute to quality assurance and peer review activities. The role may also involve supporting security consultancy engagements, mentoring junior consultants, contributing to internal research, and keeping current with emerging threats, attack techniques, and industry best practice.

Applicants should have substantial professional experience in penetration testing, offensive security, or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of common attack methodologies, risk assessment, and secure development principles. Relevant certifications such as OSCP, CREST, GPEN, GXPN, or equivalent practical experience are desirable. You should be comfortable using tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, BloodHound, and industry-standard cloud security tooling, while also demonstrating the ability to perform manual testing beyond automated scanning. Strong report-writing, communication, organisation, and client-facing skills are essential. A methodical approach, sound professional judgement, and a commitment to ethical conduct and continuous learning are expected.
