Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience)
We are seeking a Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience) to help assess and strengthen the resilience of critical systems, services and people against realistic cyber threats. You will plan and deliver authorised red team and threat emulation exercises, working across infrastructure, cloud, applications, identities, networks and physical environments where appropriate. Your work will support the identification of weaknesses that could affect confidentiality, integrity, availability and operational continuity.
Responsibilities will include developing exercise plans and rules of engagement; conducting reconnaissance, initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence and exfiltration simulations; and safely testing detection, response and recovery capabilities. You will use a blend of commercial tools, open-source frameworks and bespoke techniques, while maintaining strict control of scope, evidence and operational risk. You will also collaborate with blue teams and security operations functions to validate alerts, defensive controls, incident response procedures and recovery arrangements.
You will document technical findings and business impact clearly, producing reports that include practical remediation recommendations and prioritised improvements. You will brief technical and non-technical stakeholders, contribute to lessons-learned sessions and help track actions through to completion. The role may also involve supporting vulnerability assessments, purple team activities, tabletop exercises, security architecture reviews and the development of repeatable testing methodologies.
Applicants should have proven experience in red teaming, penetration testing, adversary simulation or a closely related cyber security discipline, together with a strong understanding of common attack paths, the MITRE ATT&CK framework and modern defensive technologies. Practical experience with Windows and Linux environments, Active Directory, cloud platforms, scripting and network protocols is expected. Relevant qualifications such as CREST, OSCP, OSEP, CRTO or equivalent experience are desirable. You must demonstrate sound judgement, excellent written and verbal communication skills, a methodical approach to evidence handling and a commitment to responsible, lawful and ethical security testing.
