PA. Bringing Ingenuity to Life.

Job Description:

While we are working to reaccredit our CHECK green-light status, the majority of our work is more bespoke and requires attention to detail and our testers are able to work on assignments beyond a sole focus of just penetration testing, allowing them to grow their wider skillset as they desire.

This has previously included cloud architecture and teaching at universities and on our publicly available training courses.

We have a strong, flexible team and you will have a mixture of on-site working, remote working and office-based work, but we make sure that no-one is unfairly kept on the road, or at home, for long periods at a time.

Encouragement to achieve and maintain CHECK team member (CTM) and CHECK team leader (CTL) status
Training in your areas of SME and interest

Allocated time and funding for all of the above

Qualifications:

Due to the nature of our work and some of our clients' requirements the following criteria must be met:

Hold, or demonstrate the ability to gain, SC (or higher) security clearance

As one of our consultants you will be working on client projects within a highly skilled team

We expect you to:

Work by yourself, or play your part in larger projects
Deliver high quality security assessments within agreed deadlines
Produce written and verbal reports for clients to an excellent standard.
Develop and share knowledge with the rest of the penetration testing team
