Incident response investigator

Reference: 6nbyahfx3b851jyiu26c

We are seeking an Incident Response Investigator to identify, assess and manage security incidents across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will investigate suspected cyber attacks, policy violations, data breaches and other security events, working methodically to establish the facts, determine impact and support timely resolution. You will monitor alerts and intelligence sources, conduct triage, preserve evidence and maintain accurate, auditable incident records from initial detection through closure.

Key responsibilities include analysing logs, endpoint activity, network traffic, email artefacts and cloud data to identify indicators of compromise and reconstruct attack timelines. You will coordinate containment, eradication and recovery activities with technical teams, while escalating critical incidents in line with agreed procedures. The role will involve preparing clear investigation reports, documenting root causes, recommending corrective actions and contributing to post-incident reviews. You will also help improve playbooks, detection rules and response processes, support threat-hunting initiatives and provide practical guidance to colleagues on incident handling and information security risks.

Applicants should have proven experience in cyber incident response, digital investigations, security operations or a closely related discipline. Strong knowledge of investigation techniques, security monitoring, common attack methods and relevant frameworks such as NIST or MITRE ATT&CK is expected. Experience with SIEM, EDR, forensic or cloud security tools, together with the ability to interpret technical evidence, is highly desirable. You should be comfortable working under pressure, managing multiple investigations and communicating complex findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. A structured, analytical approach, sound judgement, attention to detail and a commitment to confidentiality are essential. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience will be advantageous.
