We are seeking a Security Testing Consultant (Penetration Tester) to join a collaborative cyber security team in a hybrid working environment. In this role, you will plan and deliver authorised penetration tests across web applications, mobile applications, APIs, networks, cloud environments and infrastructure. You will work with technical and business stakeholders to understand testing objectives, identify attack paths, assess risk and provide practical recommendations that improve overall security resilience.

Your responsibilities will include scoping engagements, developing test plans, conducting manual and automated security assessments, validating vulnerabilities and maintaining accurate evidence throughout each assignment. You will prepare clear, professional reports that explain technical findings in a way suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences, including risk ratings, business impact and prioritised remediation guidance. You will also present findings to stakeholders, support retesting activities and contribute to the continuous improvement of testing methodologies, tools and internal security processes. Where appropriate, you may assist with threat modelling, secure design reviews, vulnerability assessments and incident response exercises.

The successful candidate will have practical experience in penetration testing or security consultancy, with a strong understanding of common web, network, application and cloud vulnerabilities. Familiarity with recognised security frameworks and standards, such as OWASP, PTES, CREST and NIST, is desirable. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications, including OSCP, CREST, CHECK, CRT, CSTM or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. You should be analytical, curious and confident communicating complex issues clearly, while maintaining a professional and ethical approach to authorised testing. Experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, vulnerability scanners and scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell would be beneficial. The role offers a balance of remote and on-site work, with occasional travel and direct engagement with clients and project teams.
