Role Overview
We're working with a well-regarded, specialist cyber security consultancy with a strong reputation in the UK market. This isn't a box-ticking operation - these are real practitioners, led by technical people, doing high-quality work for serious clients.
They're growing their pentesting team and need a strong mid-level tester who can hit the ground running. If you're currently CTM-certified (or previously held the status), comfortable across web app and infrastructure engagements, and want to work somewhere that actually invests in your development - this is worth a conversation.
At the top of the band, they're looking for someone currently active in CHECK work with a strong track record. If that's you, this will move fast.
What You'll Be Doing
- Conducting web application and infrastructure penetration tests across a varied client base
- Producing high-quality, client-facing reports that clearly communicate risk and remediation
- Supporting CHECK-scope engagements where appropriate
- Contributing to methodology, tooling, and internal knowledge sharing
- Working collaboratively with a team of technically sharp, certified consultants
Nice to Have
- Experience with red team operations or adversarial simulation
- Additional certs: CRTP, CRTO, CSTL, or similar advanced qualifications
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Experience across a range of sectors (finance, public sector, healthcare, etc.)
??Important Notes
- UK-based candidates only - fully remote but must be able to work UK hours
- British passport or ILR required - no sponsorship under any circumstances
- Must be SC Eligible - ability to obtain Security Clearance is a hard requirement
- Salary is experience and certification dependent - £55k is reserved for strong, currently-active CTMs
