The Role

This senior position involves taking full ownership of cybersecurity incidents from initial triage through to closure, including containment, eradication, root cause analysis, and post-incident review. Day-to-day responsibilities span malware analysis, digital forensic examination of endpoints, and leading customer-facing incident calls and status updates.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require 8–10 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience with strong proficiency in EDR, SIEM, and network security tooling. Key technical skills include static and dynamic malware analysis, Windows and Linux forensic artefact analysis, memory forensics, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and chain-of-custody evidence handling.

Who It Suits

This role suits a seasoned DFIR professional comfortable operating independently across complex enterprise incidents while engaging confidently with technical and executive stakeholders. Those with a background in managed security services or consultancy, who enjoy both deep forensic analysis and clear written reporting, will thrive here.
