Security Consultant

We are so excited you are here! We are Red Wolf Security; a provider of the most comprehensive, safe and feature rich threat simulation platform available for enterprise.

Our mission is to help organizations test and improve their cyber security resiliency in a thorough and reliable way.

We love the security tech world, but true passion is providing the best experience possible for our clients.

We are a hybrid team, working within a shared office space 3 days a week. We stay connected through our weekly connection points and use our project management software (Jira). We get into the office throughout the week because we find that sometimes it stimulates some great problem solving and group cohesion.  Always available to each other, we work together through issues as they arise ensuring that the end result is a clear, well-informed recommendation/presentation of data for our clients. We love to follow a good procedure structure and tick all the boxes along the way in a project. We try to avoid ‘MacGyvering’ solutions and work towards structural and procedural progress to help the whole team and our clients find success.  We don’t just work for our clients, we are invested in their needs and results.

Now the exciting part – we have some exciting growth and changes coming.

We’re looking for a Security Consultant that has an extroverted personality and is able to empathize with customers to drive successful customer experience outcomes. This individual knows tech security and is keen to make an impact on the business of our customers. They want to see their work impacting clients and they like to work autonomously with a team backing them up.  This role leads and executes security testing projects including DDoS assessments, methodology development, security advisory and research. As a part of our Delivery Team, our Security Consultants work closely with Partners, Customer Operations Team as well as Vendors.

The Downside; We know as a company there are things we are still working on perfecting and we like to be transparent about the challenges ahead. Here are some of the areas we are working on:

• Creating Structures that Work – We’re a small firm, but growing quickly! Although we are working hard to manage this growth by implementing practice management tools to help us manage tasks, deadlines, and workflows, as we figure out what works best for our firm there may be some growing pains along the way to ensure that processes are compatible with our working styles, and consistent throughout the practice.
• Managing Client Relationships – We work with some of the largest brands and companies in the world that deserve and expect a certain standard of delivery and expertise. The reality is however most people we work with will not be experts in cyber-security and testing. A challenge in this position is to inspire the people we work with to raise-the-bar vis à vis testing and help clients appreciate the value we bring to the table. This sometimes means saying no to clients and guiding them to a better understanding.
• Team Growth – As the business grows, so will the team! And as important as it is to find clients that compliment our values, it is just as important to find teammates that do as well. This also means that in some instances, the onboarding and training of these new members will be a collaborative effort.
