Penetration Tester
Remote | UK-Based Consultancy Environment | Offensive Security
TechTrace Partners are supporting a growing cyber security consultancy in the search for a Penetration Testing Consultant to join their Red Team function.
This is a delivery-led role for an offensive security professional who enjoys complex technical work, direct client engagement, and delivering high-quality penetration testing engagements within a collaborative consultancy environment.
The business operates across a broad client base, delivering security assessments across infrastructure, applications, and wider enterprise environments. The team is technically credible, collaborative, and focused on high-quality client delivery rather than high-volume consulting.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Fully remote environment with occasional client-site exposure when required
• Strong track record of supporting consultant progression and technical development
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced offensive security professionals within a collaborative Red Team environment
• Collaborative culture with knowledge sharing across technical teams
• Environment that values technical depth and quality over utilisation metrics
The Role
* You will deliver penetration testing engagements across networks, applications, and enterprise infrastructure environments.
* This role combines hands-on offensive security delivery with client engagement, reporting, and internal collaboration.
* The successful individual will be trusted to manage assessments independently, communicate clearly with clients, and contribute to consistently high-quality testing engagements.
* The environment is well suited to consultants who want continued exposure to varied technical challenges while developing broader offensive security capability over time.

• Technical discussions during pre-engagement and delivery phases
• Present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Provide practical remediation guidance and security recommendations
Reporting & Communication

• Deliver professional presentation of findings and risk context to clients
• Ensure reporting quality remains consistently high across engagements
Research & Development
• Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, tooling, and attack techniques
• Contribute to the improvement of internal methodologies and testing approaches
• Support continuous improvement across offensive security capability
• Benefit from an environment with a strong reputation for supporting consultant growth through mentorship, technical collaboration, and exposure to diverse engagements
What They’re Looking For
• Around 2+ years of commercial penetration testing experience within consultancy or client-facing environments
• Experience delivering infrastructure and application security assessments
• Strong understanding of offensive security methodologies and modern attack techniques
• Comfortable managing client conversations and presenting technical findings
• Ability to operate independently across multiple engagements
