Cyber Security Consultant / Penetration Tester

Reference: m3umt0f0aus0zpxhsk47

We are seeking a Cyber Security Consultant / Penetration Tester to assess, challenge and strengthen the security of systems, applications, networks and infrastructure. This role will suit an experienced security professional who can combine strong technical capability with the confidence to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

You will plan and deliver penetration tests, vulnerability assessments and security reviews across web applications, mobile applications, APIs, internal and external networks, cloud environments and wireless infrastructure. Responsibilities will include defining testing scope, identifying vulnerabilities, validating exploitability, assessing business impact and producing accurate, evidence-based reports. You will also provide practical remediation advice and support stakeholders in understanding and reducing security risk.

The successful candidate will contribute to client engagements from initial scoping through to final presentation, ensuring work is delivered to a high professional standard and within agreed timescales. You may also be involved in threat modelling, security consultancy, incident support, technical workshops and the development of testing methodologies, tools and processes. A commitment to maintaining current knowledge of emerging threats, attack techniques and defensive controls is essential.

Applicants should have demonstrable experience in penetration testing or cyber security consultancy, with a sound understanding of common vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques. Practical experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit and vulnerability scanners is expected, alongside the ability to perform manual testing rather than relying solely on automated results. Knowledge of OWASP methodologies, network protocols, authentication mechanisms, cloud security and secure development principles would be advantageous.

Relevant professional certifications, such as CREST, OSCP, CRT, CSTM or equivalent, are desirable. You should possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong analytical ability and a methodical approach to documenting technical findings. The role may involve occasional travel and requires a high level of integrity, discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information.
