Senior Security Consultant, Incident Response, Mandiant
Cambridge, MA
The Role
This position involves leading end-to-end incident response engagements, supporting clients through investigation, containment, remediation, and crisis management. Day to day, consultants analyse threats across network, cloud, disk, and memory environments, communicate findings to diverse audiences, and help organisations reduce business risk before, during, and after security incidents.
Skills & Experience
Candidates need a minimum of five years conducting incident response investigations alongside equivalent experience in network forensics, malware triage, cloud forensics, or memory analysis. Cloud platform certifications are advantageous. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple engagements and explain technical findings clearly to both technical and executive stakeholders.
Who It Suits
This role suits an experienced incident responder who thrives under pressure, adapts readily to non-standard hours and shift-based schedules, and is comfortable engaging directly with clients ranging from technical teams to legal counsel. Those with a background in cloud security investigations and a consultancy mindset will find this role particularly well matched to their experience.
