Incident Response Security Consultant, Mandiant (English)
Nova Scotia
The Role
This position involves leading end-to-end incident response engagements, helping organisations detect, contain, and recover from security incidents. Day to day work spans forensic investigation, malware triage, threat analysis, and communicating findings to both technical teams and senior stakeholders, with occasional on-site client travel required.
Skills & Experience
Candidates need at least three years of hands-on incident response experience and proficiency across network forensics, memory and disk forensics, or cloud forensics. A relevant degree or equivalent practical background is required. Cloud platform certifications are advantageous, as is experience with CTF competitions or platforms such as Hack the Box or TryHackMe.
Who It Suits
This role suits an investigative-minded security professional who is equally comfortable working independently on complex cases and presenting clearly to executive audiences. Someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments, manages their time well, and is comfortable with occasional travel will find this opportunity particularly rewarding.
