Graduate Analyst, Incident Response

WHO WE ARE 

S-RM is a global intelligence and cyber security consultancy. Since 2005, we've helped some of the most demanding clients in the world solve some of their toughest information security challenges. 

We've been able to do this because of our outstanding people. We're committed to developing sharp, curious, driven individuals who want to think critically, solve complex problems, and achieve success. 

But we also know that work isn't everything. It's about the lives and careers it helps us build. We're immensely proud of this culture and we invest in our people's wellbeing, learning, and ideas every day. 

We're excited you're thinking about joining us. 

 

WORKING IN CYBER AT S-RM 

 

Our Cyber Security division is the fastest-growing part of S-RM. The cyber sector is always evolving, and our Advisory, Ethical Hacking, and Incident Response practices are in more demand than ever. 

We're building a team to meet this challenge. We're quick to respond, innovate, and improve. We don't get too hung up on hierarchy or bureaucracy. If your ideas are good enough, we'll empower you to implement them. If you're the best person to talk to a customer, you'll get that opportunity, regardless of the title in your email signature. And when you need a hand, your team will always have your back. 

We also don't believe there's a typical cyber security professional. We've built a team of intelligence analysts, technical specialists, software developers, investigators, risk managers, and more. You'll always find a range of perspectives and expertise to help you learn and grow. 

If that sounds like your kind of team, we'd like to hear from you. 

 

THE ROLE 

This is a graduate-level role designed for those who have recently completed a degree in cyber security, computer science, or a related technical discipline and are ready to put that knowledge to work in a fast-paced, real-world environment. 

Our Incident Response Analysts are a critical part of our Cyber Security division's success. You will work across the full lifecycle of security incidents to help our clients respond and recover, including: 

• Help manage incident response cases from first contact through to closure: you will support internal and external stakeholders and help ensure our delivery is completed in-time and on budget. You will coordinate non-technical workstreams and collaborate with technical leads where necessary. 

• Help oversee host- and network-based incident response investigations: including triage, system recovery, technical evidence collection, and forensics, log, malware, and root cause analyses - drawing directly on the technical foundations you built during your studies. 

• Help develop plans, policies, and training: including incident management plans, table-top exercises, and response policies and procedures. 

• Help develop and share domain expertise: we will support you in growing your cyber expertise, including sharing it with the wider team through internal initiatives and programs. You will be joining a team of experienced incident response consultants who are committed to your development, giving you the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the field. 

 

Other features of the role include: 

• Variety of casework: no day will be the same. Our team responds to a huge variety of incidents for both public and corporate clients. 

• Range of opportunities: you will have opportunities to broaden your security awareness into other projects, in addition to deepening your incident response expertise. 

• Flexible working practices: responding to incidents can be intense, high-pressure work. We are mindful of our team's work/life balance and offer flexible working options to support your wellbeing. 

 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 

This role is open to recent graduates or those in the final stages of a degree in cyber security, computer science, information security, or a related technical field. We want people who are intellectually curious, technically grounded, and eager to grow quickly in a professional environment.

• Some experience in helping manage tasks or projects in high-pressure situations - whether in a professional, academic, or extracurricular setting; 

• Good written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences; 

• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and genuine enthusiasm for the cyber security field.
