YOU DESERVE TO BE HACKED.

📋 Description

• Scale an elite team– Build and inspire an ever-growing Hive of world-class ethical hackers. Recruit top talent, mentor them into leaders and expand our UK Red Team from a fast-growing squad to an unrivalled force. • Own the attack strategy – Define and execute the offensive playbook. From digital intrusion to physical social engineering, you will decide where and how we strike next to keep clients perpetually on their guard (and safe). • Drive relentless delivery – Oversee end-to-end red team operations. Ensure our unlimited-scope attacks stay agile, unpredictable and brutally effective. Every engagement should push the envelope of what is possible in offensive security. • Innovate and experiment – Champion a culture of innovation and hacking research. Encourage the team to find new vulnerabilities, develop novel exploits and think like attackers who break the rules . You will keep us ahead of the curve at all times. • Engage and influence – Be the offensive security evangelist for our clients. Interface directly with customers’ C-suites and boards, translating our hackers’ findings into business insights they can act on. Support our Sales team in big deals with your credibility and vision, and turn prospects into believers. • Mentor the Hive – Develop the next generation of adversarial experts. Coach and train your team members in advanced tradecraft, refine their soft skills, and instill in them the confidence to present and lead. • Collaborate globally – Work with CovertSwarm’s US and global leadership to ensure we operate as one unified Swarm. Share tactics, align on strategy, and contribute to the overall direction of our services. You will have a seat at the table influencing our global offensive strategy.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven offensive security leadership – You have built, led, and scaled offensive security teams. Maybe you grew a Red Team from a handful of testers to a robust operation, or you have led complex, multi-faceted attack campaigns. You know what it takes to make a team of hackers tick — and succeed. • Offensive security mastery – Deep expertise in the art and science of cyber-attack. You understand the full kill chain: phishing, web app exploits, cloud pivots, Wi-Fi hacking, physical intrusions, social engineering, and more. You might not write every payload yourself, but you can strategize and review them in your sleep. • Strategic vision with a hands-on edge – You can set high-level strategy and dive into the weeds when needed. You are as comfortable planning a 12-month offensive roadmap as you are brainstorming the exploit technique for a tricky engagement. • Mentor and team builder – A passion for people development. You have mentored hackers into senior roles and perhaps grown some into managers. You find joy in seeing your team members shine and grow under your guidance. • Stellar communicator – You can distil complex attack narratives into crystal-clear, non-jargon language for executives. Boardrooms do not scare you – you thrive in them, educating leaders on risk with persuasive storytelling. (If you can explain a RCE exploit to a CEO without their eyes glazing over, you are our person.) • Ambitious and accountable – You set audacious goals and deliver. 300% growth does not faze you; it fuels you. You take ownership of outcomes, hold yourself and your team to high standards, and you do not make excuses – you make it happen. • Culture fit (Rebel at heart) – CovertSwarm has no room for corporate politics – we value radical candor and agility. You are a team player with a sense of humor, and you know this mission is bigger than any one ego. (If you are just chasing a title or a fat paycheck, we are not for you).

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited PTO and training – Burnout is the enemy. Take time off whenever you need – no one is counting days. Want to attend training, get a cert, or spend a week researching a new exploit technique? Go for it. We invest heavily in continuous learning and development. • Community and credibility – We encourage our Swarm to contribute to the security community. Want to speak at Black Hat, DEFCON, or OWASP chapters? We will cover your expenses, pay you a bonus and support you. • All the best toys – Need a new piece of kit or custom tool to achieve the goal? You have got an expense account for that. Hardware, software, antennas, lock picks – whatever you require to be effective, we’ve got your back. We remove the roadblocks so you can be creative. • No BS Culture – Leave your suit and tie at home. We pride ourselves on having fun, staying radically candid, and delivering killer results without corporate drama. Even our board members are hackers, so you’ll never have to justify your tactics to a clueless exec – leadership gets it.
