Senior Red Team Operator

About the role

This role runs realistic, objective-driven red team engagements against a well-defended organisation, with the freedom to design campaigns, build your own tooling and change approach mid-engagement. It is not a compliance exercise or a scan-and-report role.

Key responsibilities

• Plan and lead end-to-end adversary simulations, from reconnaissance and initial access through to objective completion
• Emulate current threat actor tradecraft across network, cloud, identity and physical or social vectors
• Develop custom tooling, payloads and infrastructure to evade modern detection
• Work closely with the blue team on purple team exercises to improve detection and response
• Write clear, evidence-led reports and brief technical and senior audiences
• Mentor peers and help shape the red team's methodology and roadmap

Required profile

• At least seven years in offensive security, with substantial hands-on red team experience
• Proven record of delivering full-scope engagements, not just penetration tests
• Sound judgement on rules of engagement, risk and operating safely in live environments
• Curiosity, initiative and the confidence to challenge assumptions

Required skills

• Strong command of Active Directory attacks, C2 frameworks, EDR evasion and post-exploitation
• Ability to code or script to build and adapt your own tools
