* Excellent report writing skills coupled with an acute attention to detail.

* Deep technical knowledge of hacking and penetration testing techniques, methodologies and tools across all common platforms.

* The energy to use time between scheduled engagements constructively to direct your own research in order to keep current with vulnerabilities, attacks, and countermeasures.

* The ability to effectively manage time and workload on individual and team engagements, cooperating with clients and managing stakeholder expectations.

Desirable qualities:

* Active CHECK status

* Willingness to support the sales team to develop engagement opportunities.

The position comes with a competitive salary, excellent benefits and a commitment to help maintain a good work/life balance.

You will be required to undertake regular work on customer sites as necessary. Working from home is possible, where appropriate, although the expectation will be for you to attend the office when not deployed to customer locations.
