7. Use threat intelligence to keep testing aligned with real-world risks
8. Identify vulnerabilities and explain what they mean in a clear, practical way
9. Work closely with teams across cyber security, engineering and infrastructure to improve controls
10. Support Security Operations (SOC) and detection teams to strengthen how we identify and respond to threats
11. Influence and guide remediation so improvements are realistic and effective
12. Produce clear reporting for both technical teams and senior stakeholders
13. Continuously improve tools, processes and ways of working across offensive security
What We’re Looking For
14. Strong experience in offensive security, such as red teaming, penetration testing or security engineering

16. Confidence managing or mentoring technical teams
17. Hands-on experience with breach and attack simulation tools and security testing frameworks
18. A good understanding of how attackers operate, including common tactics and techniques
