About the Role

Our client is looking for an experienced Cyber Security Consultant to join a dynamic and fast-paced penetration / cybersecurity team. In this role, you'll work across a variety of environments including external, web application, API, cloud, and internal infrastructure penetration tests. You'll play a key role in identifying vulnerabilities, reporting findings, and guiding clients through remediation in a collaborative, customer-focused way.

This is an exciting opportunity to sharpen your skills, gain exposure to diverse projects, and progress your career in offensive security.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Hands-on delivery of penetration testing engagements across multiple domains: Web, Cloud, API, External, Internal, and Social Engineering.
  • Communicating with clients throughout the engagement — building relationships, managing expectations, and ensuring there are no surprises in final reports.
  • Producing clear, high-quality, actionable reports that make a genuine difference to client security.
  • Balancing time across multiple engagements and ensuring on-time delivery.
  • Supporting internal security projects, tooling, and mentoring junior consultants.
  • Staying ahead of the curve with continuous learning, certifications, and research into the latest tools, tactics, and vulnerabilities.

What We're Looking For

  • 1-2+ years of penetration testing / ethical hacking experience.
  • Proficiency in external, web application, API, and cloud penetration testing.
  • Strong practical understanding of security tools, methodologies, and reporting best practices.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical findings to non-technical audiences.
  • A positive, driven attitude with a genuine passion for cyber security.
  • Certifications such as OSCP, CREST, OSCE (highly desirable but not mandatory).
  • Experience in mobile testing, secure code reviews, or cloud infrastructure is a bonus.

What's on Offer

  • Clear career pathways and support to grow from Associate to Senior levels.
  • Ongoing professional development and certification opportunities.
  • Exposure to a wide variety of penetration testing environments and methodologies.
  • Collaborative, supportive team environment with flexibility and work-life balance.
  • Work on cutting-edge security engagements that make a real impact.

Why Join our client?

  • Be part of a high-performing, supportive, and inclusive team.
  • Engage in meaningful work delivering projects that make a difference.
  • Access flexible working arrangements and professional development opportunities.
  • Join an organisation that values innovation, collaboration, integrity, and employee wellbeing.
