Red Team Consultants – Managing, Principal & Executive Principal
Red Team Consultants are sought at Managing, Principal and Executive Principal levels to lead and deliver sophisticated security assessments for a diverse range of clients. These roles involve emulating realistic adversaries to identify weaknesses in people, processes and technology, while providing clear, practical guidance that helps organisations improve their resilience.
Depending on seniority, responsibilities will include planning and managing red team engagements, defining rules of engagement, developing attack scenarios, conducting reconnaissance, exploiting vulnerabilities and assessing detection and response capabilities. You will use a broad range of techniques across infrastructure, cloud environments, applications, identity platforms, physical security and social engineering, while maintaining strict professional and ethical standards.
You will produce high-quality technical reports, present findings to technical and executive stakeholders, and work with clients to agree prioritised remediation plans. Senior consultants will also contribute to engagement strategy, quality assurance, proposal development, capability building and the mentoring of colleagues. At Managing and Executive Principal levels, you will be expected to shape delivery standards, support business growth, develop trusted client relationships and provide leadership across complex programmes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in offensive security, penetration testing or red team operations, with a strong understanding of attack methodologies, threat intelligence and defensive controls. Relevant experience may include network and web application testing, Active Directory, cloud security, exploitation development, physical intrusion or social engineering. Professional certifications such as CREST, OSCP, OSEP, GXPN or equivalent are advantageous, but demonstrable capability and sound judgement are equally valued.
You should be an excellent communicator, comfortable working independently and collaboratively, and able to translate complex technical issues into meaningful business risk. The successful candidates will show curiosity, integrity, commercial awareness and a commitment to continuous learning. The roles may involve travel and require eligibility to work on sensitive client engagements, subject to applicable screening requirements.
