Penetration Tester

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.

• Provide practical remediation guidance and security recommendations

Reporting & Communication

• Produce clear, detailed, client-facing reports outlining vulnerabilities, attack paths, business impact, and remediation priorities

• 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

• Strong reporting and communication capability

• Strong willingness to continue developing technically within a collaborative consultancy environment
