Senior IT Forensic Specialist

The Role

This position leads enterprise-wide digital forensic investigations, managing the full evidence lifecycle from collection and preservation through analysis and reporting. The specialist responds to security incidents, supports vulnerability assessments, liaises with law enforcement, and presents findings in legal or quasi-judicial proceedings when required.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require demonstrated expertise in digital evidence handling, chain-of-custody procedures, and forensic analysis. Experience conducting sensitive HR-related investigations, preparing formal investigative reports, and advising on fraud, data breaches, and relevant legislation is essential. Familiarity with penetration testing and vulnerability assessment is also expected.

Who It Suits

This role suits an experienced forensic professional who is comfortable operating independently on complex, sensitive investigations within a large organisation. Someone who communicates clearly with senior stakeholders, legal teams, and law enforcement, and who thrives in an in-office environment requiring discretion and professional rigour, will excel here.
