Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience)
Red Team Operator (Cyber Resilience)
We are seeking an experienced Red Team Operator to help assess and strengthen the resilience of critical technology, systems and services. You will plan and deliver authorised adversary simulations, emulating realistic threat actors to identify weaknesses across people, processes, applications, infrastructure and physical environments.
Working collaboratively with security engineering, threat intelligence, incident response and technology teams, you will develop threat-informed scenarios based on current tactics, techniques and procedures. Your responsibilities will include reconnaissance, vulnerability validation, social engineering, exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, command and control, and the safe assessment of detection and response capabilities. Activities must be carefully scoped, documented and conducted in line with agreed rules of engagement.
You will produce clear, evidence-based reports that explain technical findings, business impact and realistic remediation options. You will also brief stakeholders at varied levels of technical understanding, support purple-team exercises, and help validate improvements through targeted retesting. A strong focus on operational safety, data protection and minimising disruption is essential.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in red teaming, penetration testing or adversary emulation, with a sound understanding of cyber resilience and attack lifecycle methodologies. Practical knowledge of enterprise networks, cloud environments, identity and access management, operating systems, web applications and common security controls is required. Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, CREST or equivalent standards would be advantageous.
You should be comfortable scripting or automating tasks using languages such as Python, PowerShell or Bash, and capable of adapting your approach as assessments develop. Relevant professional certifications, such as CREST, OSCP, OSEP, CRTO or equivalent experience, are desirable. We value curiosity, sound judgement, excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to work discreetly and constructively in a highly collaborative environment.
