Global Director of Autonomous Incident Response and Forensic Analysis

The Role

This senior leadership position oversees a 24/7 global incident response and digital forensics function, driving strategy, execution, and continuous improvement. Day to day, the role involves coordinating rapid containment and recovery efforts, managing forensic investigations, producing executive-level reporting, and collaborating with SOC leadership to strengthen detection and triage handoffs.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require deep expertise in incident response lifecycle management, digital forensics, and evidence handling. Experience developing playbooks and operating models is essential. Familiarity with AI and machine learning workflows, including LLM-assisted case summarisation and artifact correlation, is expected, alongside a strong background leading global security teams within complex, regulated environments.

Who It Suits

This role suits a seasoned cybersecurity leader who is equally comfortable shaping strategic vision and driving hands-on operational rigour. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, globally distributed environment, communicates effectively at executive level, and is motivated by applying emerging technologies to modernise forensic and response capabilities will find this role compelling.
