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.
