Engagement Lead, Incident Response

We are looking for natural playmakers with exceptional consulting skills to join our Cyber Incident Response team as Engagement Leads.  A successful cyber response only happens when a group of technical experts works seamlessly with a team leader who can get the best out of them.

 

Role responsibilities include:

• Project scoping: you will be a first responder to cyber-attacks, running triage calls with clients to understand the scope of the incident and setting out how S-RM can support.
• Project management: from that first call to the incident’s conclusion, you will be responsible for ensuring the response is managed effectively and efficiently, delivering for all stakeholders while on schedule and within budget. Typical workstreams include:
  • Working with clients to ensure that incidents are contained.
  • Overseeing a team of forensic analysts investigating the incident.
  • Advising on strategy for responding to cyber threat actors.
  • Providing ‘war room’ guidance to help clients navigate the incident.
• Relationship management: you will be responsible for building and developing relationships with the various stakeholders involved in a cyber incident, from the victims themselves to lawyers and insurance professionals.

 

We nurture a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion and we are dedicated to developing a workforce that displays a variety of talents, experiences and perspectives.

We’re looking for:

• Great communication skills.
• A calm and empathetic style when under pressure.
• A thoughtful approach to solving problems.
• An instinct to seek the expertise of others and bring diverse skillsets together.
