Senior Security Consultant (Incident Response)
We are seeking a Senior Security Consultant (Incident Response) to lead and support the investigation, containment and recovery of complex cybersecurity incidents. This role will work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to provide expert guidance throughout the incident lifecycle, from initial triage and scoping through to remediation, lessons learned and strategic improvement. You will be expected to operate confidently in high-pressure situations, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and help organisations strengthen their resilience against future threats.
Key responsibilities include leading or contributing to digital forensics and incident response engagements; analysing endpoint, network, identity, cloud and application evidence; identifying attack vectors, indicators of compromise, threat actor activity and business impact; and developing practical containment and eradication recommendations. You will produce accurate investigation reports, executive briefings and technical findings, while maintaining clear documentation and defensible evidence-handling processes. The role will also involve developing incident response plans and playbooks, conducting tabletop exercises, supporting security assessments, mentoring less experienced consultants and contributing to the continual improvement of internal methodologies, tools and services. Occasional out-of-hours response work and travel may be required.
Applicants should have substantial experience in cybersecurity incident response, digital forensics, security operations or a closely related discipline, with a proven ability to manage investigations from detection to closure. Strong knowledge of Windows and Linux environments, network and cloud security, log analysis, malware investigation, threat intelligence and common attack frameworks is essential. Experience with enterprise security platforms, forensic tooling, scripting or automation, and cloud-native investigations would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications such as GIAC, CISSP, CREST, GCFA, GCIH or equivalent are desirable. You should demonstrate sound judgement, structured problem-solving, strong report-writing skills and the ability to build trusted relationships while delivering high-quality work to agreed deadlines.
