Surefire Cyber

Remote

Remote · Lead/Principal · Full-time · $130,000 - $165,000 a year

The Role

This fully remote position centres on leading multiple concurrent cybersecurity incident response engagements, serving as the primary point of contact for clients, insurance carriers, and legal counsel. Day-to-day responsibilities include scoping engagements, coordinating cross-functional response teams, and driving timely resolution to minimise client downtime and disruption.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require a strong background in digital forensics and incident response, with demonstrable experience managing complex cybersecurity incidents such as ransomware and data theft. The ability to work effectively with legal and insurance stakeholders is essential, as is sound judgement under pressure and proven incident management capability.

Who It Suits

This role suits a seasoned DFIR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, client-focused consulting environment and is comfortable leading engagements independently from a remote setting. Those with experience bridging technical response work and external stakeholder communication, particularly within insurance or legal contexts, will find this a strong fit.
