About the job

As a Security Consultant, you will be responsible for helping clients effectively prepare for, proactively mitigate, and detect and respond to cyber security threats. Security Consultants have an understanding of computer science, operating system functionality and networking, cloud services, corporate network environments and how to apply this knowledge to cyber security threats.

As a Security Consultant, you could work on engagements including assisting clients in navigating technically complex and high-profile incidents, performing forensic analysis, threat hunting, and malware triage. You may also test client networks, applications and devices by emulating the latest techniques to help them defend against threats, and will be the technical advocate for information security requirements and provide an in-depth understanding of the information security domain. You will also articulate and present complex concepts to business stakeholders, executive leadership, and technical contributors and successfully lead complex engagements alongside cross functional teams.


Mandiant’s Offensive Security team delivers pen testing, adversarial emulation, network security, and application security assessments. In this role, you will execute threat intelligence-led Red team engagements for large enterprises, build command-and-control infrastructure, compromise perimeter systems, perform lateral movement and privilege escalation, and covertly exfiltrate data.

As an Offensive Security Consultant, you will deliver Red and Purple team assessments across networks, cloud, web, and mobile environments. You will develop offensive tools, researching exploit techniques, and mentoring team members. You will author clear technical reports and executive presentations for C-level leaders. You will lead engagements from scoping through remediation while safely utilizing threat actor tactics.
