Penetration Tester (CREST)
Penetration Tester (CREST)
Our client is seeking a Senior Penetration Tester to join their growing security team. This is a unique opportunity to work a genuine 4-day week (no compressed hours)—giving you 79 extra days off a year—while focusing on high-quality, service-led testing and client relationships.
This isn’t your typical offensive security role. You’ll be the trusted technical voice in both delivery and pre-sales, working closely with clients and internal sales teams to shape secure outcomes—not just find vulnerabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver web, infrastructure, and cloud penetration testing with a business-focused approach.
- Act as a technical advisor in pre-sales, helping scope work and educate internal sales teams on testing services.
- Build strong client relationships, translating technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Champion security best practices and support remediation discussions.
- Mentor junior testers and contribute to continuous service improvement.
Requirements
- CREST Registered Tester or equivalent (e.g., OSCP with CREST equivalency).
- 4 years’ experience in penetration testing, preferably in a mission led environment.
- Strong communication and report writing skills.
- Experience working with sales or directly with clients.
- Service mindset—more focused on collaboration than confrontation.
Benefits
- True 4-day work week – every week. (Fridays off!)
- 79 days off a year (which includes Holiday and Bank Holidays)
- Fully Remote option.
- Training & certification budget
- Competitive salary bonus
- Supportive, growth-focused team culture
If you think this role would be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out, my client is looking to move very quickly on this one, so I’d love to hear from you soon.
