You will lead the delivery and ongoing development of these services, mentor penetration testers, incident responders and security engineers, and manage key client relationships. The role requires extensive experience in technical cybersecurity disciplines, strong team and stakeholder management skills, and the ability to communicate clearly in executive, regulatory and legal contexts. What You’ll Do
- Lead and manage the delivery of large ongoing penetration testing retainer engagements,



as well as smaller “one‑off” offensive security engagements, including web and network penetration testing, red team exercises and white‑box cloud security assessments.
- Lead and manage the delivery of major cybersecurity incident response engagements, including ransomware, data extortion, cryptocurrency theft, insider threat, business email compromise and accidental data disclosure incidents.
- Lead and manage security control uplift engagements for clients with a focus on cloud security engineering.
- Manage technical security engagements from end‑to‑end, from initial client contact and scoping through to reporting, presentation of findings to clients and engagement close‑out.
- Perform quality assurance on offensive security, DFIR and security engineering fieldwork and reports to ensure consistency and excellence in our offensive security services.
- Build and maintain strong trusted relationships with our key clients, law firm contacts and insurance panel contacts.
- Manage and lead a team of high‑performing, client‑facing technical cybersecurity consultants. You will be responsible for line management and their ongoing growth and professional development, encouraging them to develop deep technical skillsets that exceed your own in each consultant’s specific area of expertise.
- Maintain current knowledge of industry trends, threats and emerging offensive security and DFIR methodologies,



including those related to the use or exploitation of AI, to ensure the ongoing relevance and excellence of our service offerings.
- Manage the risks of penetration testing and incident response engagements and execute sound judgement to avoid adverse impacts to client IT environments whilst maintaining the technical excellence of our assessments and response engagements.
- Contribute to and drive the creation and use of business development material and the response to specific client proposals related to technical cybersecurity service lines.
- Plan and oversee the ongoing development and improvement of the infrastructure and technical tools that support our client‑facing offensive security and incident response services.
- Assist in managing and executing offensive security‑adjacent services from time to time, based on our team’s needs, such as security architecture, security engineering and incident response. How You’ll Grow This is an excellent opportunity for a person with proven, hands‑on cybersecurity leadership experience to join a high‑performing cybersecurity consulting team in a senior role. With the ever‑evolving cybersecurity landscape, the need for continuous career development remains at the forefront of the quality of our team and is wholly supported.
