You will provide senior technical leadership throughout the incident lifecycle, coordinating rapid and effective responses to threats affecting systems, networks, applications, cloud environments and sensitive data. The role will involve assessing alerts, validating incidents, determining scope and impact, developing containment strategies, and ensuring that recovery actions are completed safely and efficiently.

You will lead incident response activities across multidisciplinary teams, including security operations, infrastructure, engineering, risk, legal, communications and business stakeholders. Responsibilities will include establishing response priorities, allocating resources, maintaining accurate incident records, overseeing forensic investigations, preserving evidence and producing clear executive updates.

Experience developing response plans, conducting exercises and managing third-party responders would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, GIAC, CISM or equivalent practical expertise, are desirable.
