Job description

Job Description
Everforth ECS is seeking a Red Team Manager to work remotely .
At Everforth ECS Federal, we're driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation in solving complex challenges. As a premier provider of advanced technology solutions and services, our mission is to secure and optimize the most critical commercial, government, defense, and intelligence projects across the country. Our team is composed of dynamic professionals who thrive in a collaborative and empowering environment, where our team members leverage the latest technologies and insights to make a real-world impact. Join us and be part of a forward-thinking organization that values your expertise and supports your professional growth.
We are seeking a Red Team Manager to lead a high-performing offensive security program that delivers rigorous, intelligence-driven assessments. This role requires a seasoned operator with deep expertise in offensive tradecraft, operational planning, threat emulation, and program execution. You will oversee complex red team engagements, guide operators in the development and deployment of advanced TTPs, and work closely with Blue, Purple, and CTI teams to ensure operations accurately reflect real-world adversary behaviors. Your leadership will shape a program focused on measuring defensive effectiveness, identifying systemic gaps, and driving meaningful security improvements for our clients. If you excel at building and leading elite offensive security teams and advancing a mature, mission-aligned red team capability, ECS offers the environment to execute at the highest level.
Responsibilities
  • Direct all red team operations, ensuring engagements are aligned to mission objectives, scoped correctly, and executed with disciplined tradecraft.
  • Provide strategic and technical leadership to red team operators without performing hands-on-keyboard activities; set standards, methodologies, and operational doctrine.
  • Mature the red team program through capability development, tool and infrastructure strategy, TTP evolution, and integration with CTI, Blue, and Purple teams.
  • Oversee planning, deconfliction, risk management, and operational approval workflows for all offensive engagements.
  • Ensure operational excellence through repeatable processes, quality assurance, after-action reporting, and continuous improvement cycles.
  • Serve as the primary interface with clients, articulating objectives, timelines, risks, findings, and strategic recommendations.
  • Translate technical offensive findings into clear, business-aligned insights that drive measurable defensive improvement.
  • Develop team talent pipelines, provide mentorship, manage performance, and ensure staff readiness for complex adversary simulations.
  • Govern operational compliance, safety, and legal alignment for all offensive activities.
  • Maintain situational awareness of emerging adversary behaviors and offensive security trends to guide program direction and investment.
Salary Range: $165,000 - $195,000
General Description of Benefits
Required Skills
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a strong focus on offensive security operations, adversary emulation, and leading complex red team or penetration testing programs.
  • Deep understanding of offensive security methodologies, adversary emulation frameworks, and modern attacker TTPs across the kill chain.
  • Strong technical fluency in penetration testing, red teaming, exploit development concepts, infrastructure operations, and toolchains-sufficient to lead operators but without performing hands-on execution.
  • Proven experience designing, scoping, and overseeing complex offensive security engagements in enterprise environments.
  • Experience leading specialized assessments such as web application testing, mobile testing, wireless assessments, and social engineering engagements.
  • Ability to translate offensive findings into defensible remediation guidance and measurable defensive improvement actions.
  • Strong program-building capability, including roadmap development, capability maturation, process engineering, and integration with defensive and CTI functions.
  • Expertise in operational risk management, deconfliction, safety protocols, rules of engagement, and legal/compliance constraints of offensive operations.
  • Exceptional communication and client-facing skills, with the ability to brief executives, technical teams, and stakeholders clearly and confidently.
  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing red team or offensive security personnel, including coaching, performance management, and tradecraft development.
  • Competence in evaluating and prioritizing emerging threats, offensive technologies, and adversary trends to inform program strategy.
  • Strong analytical, judgment, and decision-making capability under constrained timelines and sensitive operational conditions.

Desired Skills
  • Experience developing or maturing red team methodologies, testing frameworks, reporting standards, and QA processes.
  • Capability to design service offerings, tiers, and pricing models for a scalable penetration testing program.
  • Familiarity with automated testing platforms, continuous validation tools, or orchestration systems that support large-scale assessment operations.
  • Background integrating penetration testing outputs into broader vulnerability management, CTEM, or risk reduction programs.
  • Exposure to cloud penetration testing across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, including identity, API, and containerized environments.
  • Ability to create executive-ready reports that translate complex technical findings into clear remediation pathways and business risk narratives.
  • Prior experience operating in regulated sectors (PCI, HIPAA, FedRAMP, financial services) and tailoring assessment approaches accordingly.
  • Relevant advanced certifications such as OSWE, OSCE, GX-PEN, or CREST certifications demonstrating depth in offensive security.
