Role Purpose
As an Executive Principal Consultant within the Red Teaming practice, you'll take a leading role in delivering high-end adversary simulation engagements for clients with mature security postures and critical risk profiles. You'll operate across the entire attack lifecycle-from initial access and evasion of EDR, through lateral movement and objective completion-while ensuring the safety, confidentiality, and operational integrity of every engagement.

You'll also contribute to our capability development, tooling, and methodologies, while mentoring the next generation of Red Teamers and representing NCC Group in client-facing engagements, including with C-level stakeholders.
