Penetration Testing Team Lead

Location:
Remote on Eastern Seaboard (HQ in Melbourne – attendance not required)

Package:
$150K – $170K base + super + perks

About the Company

A fast-growing Australian-headquartered cybersecurity consultancy, known for delivering advanced Pen Testing and security services. With strong staff retention, a loyal customer base, and a reputation for technical excellence, the business is scaling its operations and looking for the right leader to take the Pen Testing function to the next level.

The Role

We're seeking a
Penetration Testing Team Lead
to oversee the day-to-day operations of a high-performing Pen Testing team while staying hands-on with technical delivery.

This role is split evenly between
technical work (50%)
and
leadership, operations, and client engagement (50%)
. You'll act as the bridge between the delivery team and clients, supporting your consultants while also driving pre-sales conversations, scoping, and requirement gathering.

It's a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of
technical depth and client-facing leadership
.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support the Pen Testing team, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
  • Mentor and coach consultants to maintain delivery excellence.
  • Act as the escalation point for both technical and client-related issues.
  • Stay hands-on with penetration testing engagements across web, infrastructure, and cloud.
  • Engage directly with customers: extracting requirements, scoping, and supporting pre-sales.
  • Present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

About You

  • A strong background in penetration testing or offensive security.
  • Excellent verbal communication skills — confident engaging with customers.
  • Ability to bridge the gap between technical and business stakeholders.
  • Experience mentoring or supporting a team (formal leadership not essential if you're ready to step up).
  • Certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, or CREST are highly regarded.

Why Apply?

  • Competitive salary package: $150K – $170K + super + perks.
  • Fully remote role with optional access to a Melbourne office.
  • A growing, well-run business with strong staff retention.
  • Opportunity to step into leadership while staying hands-on.

If you're a Pen Tester looking to step into leadership, or a Security Architect with an offensive security background wanting more responsibility, this role could be your next big career move.
