Principal Consultant, Incident Response (Weekend Schedule)
Palo Alto Networks
London, England
The Role
This position centres on leading end-to-end incident response engagements for a range of clients, covering initial scoping, forensic investigation, containment, and long-term remediation guidance. It operates on a Friday-to-Monday schedule, ten hours per day, with Tuesday through Thursday as standard days off.
Skills & Experience
Candidates require demonstrable expertise in digital forensics and incident response, including hands-on experience scoping and managing complex security investigations. Eligibility to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC) is an essential requirement. Strong stakeholder communication and the ability to advise clients at a senior level are equally important.
Who It Suits
This role suits an experienced incident response professional who is comfortable leading client-facing engagements independently and thrives in high-pressure situations. The compressed weekend schedule makes it particularly well suited to someone who values extended mid-week time off alongside meaningful, technically demanding work.
