Engagement Lead, Incident Response

S-RM is a global intelligence and cybersecurity 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.

Our Cybersecurity division is the newest and fastest-growing part of S-RM. The cyber sector is always evolving, and our Advisory , Testing , Incident Response and Forensics 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.

We also don’t believe there’s a typical cybersecurity 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 draw on and help you grow.

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

We are looking for a consultant to join our Cyber Incident Response team as an Engagement Lead. 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 work streams include:
  • Working with clients to ensure that incidents are contained.
  • Overseeing a team of forensic analysts investigating the incident.
  • Advising strategies for responding to cyber threat actors.
  • Providing crisis management expertise 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.

However, we’d encourage candidates with adjacent experience to apply. We believe that, with the right training, anyone that fits the profile below can make an excellent Engagement Lead.
