Attackers don't play by the rules. Neither do we.
Traditional penetration testing is broken—limited scopes, periodic checklists, predictable playbooks.
CovertSwarm focuses exclusively on offensive security
, delivering constant,
unlimited-scope, whole brand
attacks
via subscription. Our ethical hacking teams ("Hives") swarm around targets relentlessly, always searching for a new way to compromise them. We aim to breach our clients before real adversaries can, every single day.
We are looking for a

Offensive Security Team Leader (Hive Leader)
t
o take our offensive operations to the next level. If you are an ambitious Red Team leader itching to change the industry, this is your call to arms.
Your mission: Lead a red team revolution
This is
a leadership
role with a rebellious twist. As Hive Leader for the UK/European region, you are not just managing a team –
you are leading a movement
to disrupt the traditional offensive security industry. Your mission is to
scale our Red Team
from hyper-growth to industry domination. You will decide how we attack next, how to grow and structure the team, and how we continue to wow our clients with never-before-seen attack tactics. In short, you will make sure we
swarm, defeat, repeat
on a continent-wide scale – redefining what offensive security testing and red teaming means in the process.
What you will do
Scale an elite team–
Build and inspire an ever-growing Hive of world-class ethical hackers. Recruit top talent, mentor them into leaders and expand our UK Red Team from a fast-growing squad to an unrivalled force.
Own the attack strategy
– Define and execute the offensive playbook. From digital intrusion to physical social engineering,



you will decide where and how we strike next to keep clients perpetually on their guard (and safe).
Drive relentless delivery
– Oversee end-to-end red team operations. Ensure our
unlimited-scope attacks
stay agile, unpredictable and brutally effective. Every engagement should push the envelope of what is possible in offensive security.
Innovate and experiment
– Champion a culture of innovation and hacking research. Encourage the team to find new vulnerabilities, develop novel exploits and
think like attackers who break the rules
.
You will keep us ahead of the curve at all times.
Engage and influence
– Be the offensive security evangelist for our clients. Interface directly with customers' C-suites and boards, translating our hackers' findings into business insights they can act on. Support our Sales team in big deals with your credibility and vision, and turn prospects into believers.
Mentor the Hive
– Develop the next generation of adversarial experts. Coach and train your team members in advanced tradecraft, refine their soft skills, and instill in them the confidence to present and lead. Make CovertSwarm the place where the world's best hackers want to work, grow their capability and never want to leave.
Collaborate globally
– Work with CovertSwarm's US and global leadership to ensure we operate as one unified Swarm. Share tactics, align on strategy,



and contribute to the overall direction of our services. You will have a seat at the table influencing our general offensive strategy.
What You Bring
Proven offensive security leadership
– You have built, led, and scaled offensive security teams. Maybe you grew a Red Team from a handful of testers to a robust operation, or you have led complex, multi-faceted attack campaigns. You know what it takes to make a team of hackers tick — and succeed.
Offensive security mastery
– Deep expertise in the art and science of cyber-attack. You understand the full kill chain: phishing, web app exploits, cloud pivots, Wi-Fi hacking, physical intrusions, social engineering, and more. You might not write every payload yourself, but you can strategize and review them in your sleep.
Strategic vision with a hands-on edge
– You can set high-level strategy
and
dive into the weeds when needed. You are as comfortable planning a 12-month offensive roadmap as you are brainstorming the exploit technique for a tricky engagement.
Mentor and team builder
– A passion for people development. You have mentored hackers into senior roles and perhaps grown some into managers. You find joy in seeing your team members shine and grow under your guidance.
Stellar communicator
– You can distil complex attack narratives into crystal-clear, non-jargon language for executives. Boardrooms do not scare you – you thrive in them, educating leaders on risk with persuasive storytelling. (If you can explain a RCE exploit to a CEO without their eyes glazing over, you are our person.)
Ambitious and accountable
– You set audacious goals and
deliver. 300% growth does not faze you; it fuels you. You take ownership of
