Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in Offensive Security focus on improving the organization’s resilience against dedicated adversaries by testing key elements of the security program, including technology, people, and process. They work to identify areas for improvement, demonstrate potential business impact, and help strengthen PwC’s ability to prevent, detect, contain, and remediate cyber threats.

Those in the Red Team at PwC will focus on simulating realistic adversary activity through full-scope operations, purple teaming, and security initiatives. This includes simulating compromise to achieve specific objectives, collaborating with Blue Teams to validate detection and monitoring coverage, and supporting ongoing security hygiene efforts to identify security issues across PwC environments.

Focused on collaboration and resilience, you are building meaningful relationships with security teams and stakeholders while learning how to support and improve offensive security operations. Navigating increasingly complex security scenarios, you are growing your technical expertise in red teaming, adversary simulation, detection validation, and security hygiene.

You are expected to anticipate the needs of your team, communicate findings clearly, and deliver high-quality work that helps strengthen PwC’s security posture. Embracing ambiguity, you are comfortable operating in realistic and evolving attack scenarios, asking thoughtful questions, and using each engagement as an opportunity to learn, improve, and drive measurable security outcomes.

This position will be part of PwC IT Services (US) LLC, a member of the PwC network of firms. PwC IT Services (US) LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of PwC IT Services Limited) provides technology services to other PwC member firms.  PwC refers to the PwC network and/or one or more of its member firms, each of which is a separate legal entity.
