Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience)
We are seeking a Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience) to challenge and strengthen the organisation’s ability to prevent, detect, respond to and recover from sophisticated cyber attacks. You will plan and deliver authorised red team, adversary simulation and purple team engagements across people, processes, applications, infrastructure and cloud environments.
Working with security operations, technology, risk and resilience teams, you will emulate realistic threat actors using intelligence-led techniques. Your responsibilities will include defining engagement objectives and rules of engagement, developing attack scenarios, conducting reconnaissance, identifying and exploiting weaknesses, and safely demonstrating potential business impact. You will maintain a strong focus on controlled execution, clear communication and protection of operational services.
You will document activity accurately, preserve appropriate evidence and produce high-quality reports for both technical and senior stakeholders. This will include explaining attack paths, assessing the effectiveness of preventative and detective controls, identifying gaps in cyber resilience, and providing practical, prioritised recommendations. You will also support purple team exercises, replay attack techniques with defenders, validate remediation and track improvements through to completion.
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience in red teaming, penetration testing, adversary simulation or a closely related security role. You should be confident working across networks, endpoints, identity platforms, web applications and cloud technologies, with practical knowledge of common attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK. Experience with scripting or programming, security tooling, operational technology or incident response would be advantageous.
You will need strong analytical and problem-solving skills, sound judgement and a responsible approach to handling sensitive information. The ability to explain complex technical findings clearly, collaborate with varied stakeholders and operate effectively within defined legal, ethical and safety boundaries is essential. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcomed. This role may involve occasional travel, out-of-hours exercises and participation in resilience or incident response activities.
