Red Team Consultant | Bristol / South West | Defence
I'm currently working on an exciting opportunity for an experienced Red Team / Offensive Security professional to join a growing capability within a major UK Defence organisation.
This is not just a traditional penetration testing role.
You'll be involved in Red Team operations, adversary simulation and threat-led security assessments, helping to replicate realistic attacks against complex, high-assurance environments.
What you'll be doing:
Red Team & adversary simulation
Threat-led security assessments
Initial access, exploitation & detection evasion
C2 / operational infrastructure
Offensive security tooling & automation
Malware / tool development
Research into emerging attacker TTPs
Helping shape Red Team methodologies and capability
Working directly with customers across Defence & Government environments
What I'm looking for:
Strong hands-on Red Team / Offensive Security experience
Experience with adversary simulation or advanced penetration testing
Strong scripting/development skills — Python, C#, C/C++, Go, Rust or JavaScript
Experience across areas such as AD, cloud exploitation, C2, detection evasion or exploit development
Relevant offensive security certifications are advantageous — OSCP, OSEP, OSED, OSCE, CREST, RTO/RTO2 or equivalent
Defence, Government or other high-assurance experience would be highly desirable
DV clearance or the ability to attain DV
Sole UK nationality
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who wants to do more than deliver assessments - you'll have the opportunity to help build and shape a growing Red Team capability.
If you're an experienced Red Teamer, Offensive Security Consultant or Adversary Simulation specialist and this sounds relevant, I'd be interested in having a confidential conversation.
