Responsibilities

You are a consulting leader; you see problems and solutions in everything. You have the experience in security consulting to know your way around red teaming and services. You’ve plundered apps and pillaged networks (legally, of course). You have a passion for helping build ethical hackers. At this point, you may have accumulated a few disclosures, written blog posts, and given some industry talks while leading or providing thought leadership to a team of security consultants delivering world-class results for various clients.

The Managing Consultant is a working people manager who participates directly in red team, purple team, and social engineering engagements while supporting the performance and development of their direct reports. Time is expected to be divided approximately equally between technical delivery and management responsibilities, with flexibility as engagement and team needs change.

The manager works alongside consultants to maintain technical proficiency, build trusted relationships, and understand delivery challenges firsthand. They provide coaching, address performance concerns, and partner with the Practice Director to improve how the team operates.
