Incident Response Consultant

We are looking for a consultant to join our Cyber Incident Response team as an Engagement Lead.  A successful cyber response only happens when a group of technical experts works seamlessly with a team leader who can get the best out of them.  

Role responsibilities include: 

• Project scoping: you will be a first responder to cyber-attacks, running triage calls with clients to understand the scope of the incident and setting out how S-RM can support. 

• Project management: from that first call to the incident’s conclusion, you will be responsible for ensuring the response is managed effectively and efficiently, delivering for all stakeholders while on schedule and within budget. Typical workstreams include: 

• Working with clients to ensure that incidents are contained. 

• Overseeing a team of forensic analysts investigating the incident. 

• Advising strategies for responding to cyber threat actors. 

• Providing crisis management expertise to help clients navigate the incident. 

• Relationship management: you will be responsible for building and developing relationships with the various stakeholders involved in a cyber incident, from the victims themselves to lawyers and insurance professionals.  

We nurture a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, and we are dedicated to developing a workforce that displays a variety of talents, experiences, and perspectives. 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 

We think candidates with the following skills and experience are likely to succeed as Incident Response Engagement Leads at S-RM.   

You will need great consulting skills and a developed understanding of networks and security technologies. We will prioritise candidates with demonstrable digital forensics and incident response (‘DFIR’) experience, especially those that have worked in an incident handling capacity before. However, we’d encourage candidates with adjacent experience to apply.  We believe that, with the right training, anyone that fits the profile below can make an excellent Engagement Lead.  We have a proven track record of supporting those from diverse backgrounds to develop into this role. 

We’re looking for: 

• Great communication skills. 

• A calm and empathetic style when under pressure. 

• A thoughtful approach to solving problems.  

• An instinct to seek the expertise of others and bring diverse skillsets together.
