Lead Cyber Incident Response Consultant
The Tech Recruiter
United Kingdom
The Role
This position leads complex cyber security incident investigations end to end, performing advanced digital forensics across Windows, Linux, macOS, and multi-cloud environments. Day to day involves analysing logs, network traffic, memory, and disk artefacts, maintaining chain-of-custody, and delivering clear technical and executive-level guidance to affected organisations.
Skills & Experience
Strong hands-on forensics experience across host, network, and memory analysis is essential, alongside familiarity with adversary TTPs and threat actor behaviours. Experience working within NCSC-aligned practices and Microsoft security tooling is advantageous. Candidates should be comfortable operating within an on-call rota and responding outside standard hours.
Who It Suits
This role suits an experienced incident responder ready to take ownership of high-stakes investigations and mentor others. Someone who thrives under pressure, communicates findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, and is motivated by helping organisations recover from serious cyber incidents will find this role highly rewarding.
