Overview
A global intelligence and cyber security consultancy is looking to hire an Incident Response Engagement Lead, based remotely in the US.
The Cybersecurity division is the newest and fastest-growing part of the business. The cyber sector is always evolving, and our Advisory, Testing, Incident Response and Forensics practices are in more demand than ever.
The firm is looking for natural playmakers with exceptional consulting skills to join the 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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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 the firm 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.
