Security Consultant/Penetration Tester

Senior Security Consultant

Location: Manchester or Remote

Salary: Competitive

My client performs a range of security testing including infrastructure, web applications, mobile applications, Wi-Fi testing, red team engagements, and more.

The Role:

As a senior security consultant, you'll be scheduled on customer engagements to perform security assessments. Expect this to cover several of the different types of security tests that we offer.

Essential:

1. Previous full-time penetration testing experience.
2. Demonstrable technical skills are required to complete the interview process.
3. Ability to communicate both technical and business risks clearly and effectively.

Duties will include:

1. Delivering penetration testing engagements independently, as well as overseeing complex penetration testing projects.
2. Communication with clients before, during, and after the technical testing is complete.
3. Mentoring junior penetration testers and assisting them in up-skilling.
4. As a senior, we'll schedule you as a QA resource on a round-robin basis.
5. For those seeking a pathway to management, you can recruit, train, and manage your own team.

What to expect:

My client offers a range of defensive security services, so you won’t be restricted to testing the same kind of thing each day. Most of the work they do is conducted remotely, so whilst there are opportunities for hands-on work with onsite jobs, you won’t find yourself on the road every day.

As an organisation, they believe in investing in their team and actively encouraging team members to enhance their careers by looking for research opportunities, be that internal development to help the team, or publishing research externally on the company blog. They are committed to developing multi-skilled testers and have developed a robust training initiative to support this.

Benefits:

1. Private healthcare cover after a year's service.
2. Full paid maternity leave for the first 16 weeks and full paid paternity leave for 2 weeks.
3. Referral scheme for bringing superstars to the business.
4. An extra week's holiday the year you get married.
5. An extra day's holiday for each full year you have worked, up to a total of 25 days.
6. An extra day off on your birthday.
