Senior Threat Hunting & Incident Response - EMEA
We are seeking a Senior Threat Hunting & Incident Response professional to lead advanced cyber defence activities across the EMEA region. This role will be responsible for proactively identifying sophisticated threats, investigating security incidents and coordinating effective containment and recovery actions. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, cloud, application and risk teams to strengthen detection capabilities and reduce organisational exposure.
Key responsibilities include designing and executing threat-hunting investigations across endpoint, network, identity, cloud and application environments; analysing security telemetry to identify indicators of compromise, attacker behaviour and emerging techniques; and leading incident response activities from initial triage through eradication, recovery and lessons learned. You will develop and maintain incident response playbooks, improve detection rules and use threat intelligence to inform monitoring priorities. The role will also involve conducting root-cause analysis, producing clear technical and executive-level reports, supporting digital forensic investigations and helping to coordinate responses with internal and external stakeholders across multiple countries and time zones.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in threat hunting, cyber incident response, security investigations or a closely related discipline, ideally within a complex international environment. Strong knowledge of attack frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, common intrusion techniques, malware behaviour, identity attacks and cloud security is expected. You should be confident working with SIEM, EDR, network detection and response, vulnerability, case-management and forensic tooling, with practical experience developing queries, analysing logs and automating repeatable tasks using scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell. Excellent communication, prioritisation and decision-making skills are essential, together with the ability to remain calm during high-impact incidents. Relevant professional certifications in incident handling, threat intelligence, digital forensics or security operations are advantageous. The position may require participation in an on-call rota and occasional travel within EMEA.
