Security Incident Response Manager
We are seeking an experienced Security Incident Response Manager to lead the detection, investigation, containment, and recovery of cybersecurity incidents across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will manage the incident response function, coordinate activity across security operations, infrastructure, engineering, legal, privacy, communications, and business teams, and ensure that incidents are handled efficiently and consistently. You will establish clear escalation procedures, define incident severity criteria, and provide calm, decisive leadership during high-impact events.
Key responsibilities include overseeing the full incident lifecycle, from initial triage and forensic investigation through remediation, recovery, and post-incident review. You will maintain and improve incident response plans, playbooks, communication processes, and crisis-management procedures, while ensuring alignment with relevant regulatory and industry requirements. The role will also involve leading tabletop exercises, readiness assessments, and continuous improvement initiatives; monitoring key performance indicators; preparing clear reports for senior stakeholders; and identifying recurring threats, control weaknesses, and opportunities to strengthen organisational resilience. You will work closely with threat intelligence and detection teams to improve alert quality and translate emerging risks into practical response measures.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience managing cybersecurity incidents in a fast-paced enterprise environment, including demonstrated expertise in incident coordination, digital forensics, malware analysis, threat hunting, and security investigations. Strong knowledge of security frameworks, attack methodologies, cloud environments, endpoint technologies, identity systems, and network security is expected. Experience with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, case-management, and forensic tools is highly desirable. You should be an effective communicator who can explain technical issues to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, make sound decisions under pressure, and build trusted relationships across teams. Relevant professional certifications and experience leading or mentoring security professionals would be advantageous.
