Senior Cybersecurity Incident Responder

Adelaide, South Australia
The Role
This senior position sits within a dedicated incident response team, leading digital forensics and incident response engagements across Australia and New Zealand. Day-to-day work spans reactive incident investigations alongside proactive advisory services such as tabletop exercises, compromise assessments, threat hunting, breach readiness assessments, and threat intelligence briefings.
Skills & Experience
Candidates require extensive hands-on experience investigating and responding to major cybersecurity incidents. Familiarity with DFIR methodologies, threat modelling, and the broader security stack — including SOC, SIEM, EDR, and XDR technologies — is expected. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving abilities are essential to this level.
Who It Suits
This role suits an experienced incident responder ready to take ownership of complex engagements and lead others through high-pressure situations. Someone equally comfortable in a reactive crisis and a proactive advisory setting, who thrives working across both commercial and government client environments, will find this opportunity well matched to their background.
