Cyber Incident Management Senior Specialist

Reference: uzwyl8mq1yc8peyawdp5

We are seeking a Cyber Incident Management Senior Specialist to lead the effective coordination, investigation and resolution of cyber security incidents across a complex technology environment. This role will act as a senior point of contact during high-severity incidents, ensuring that response activities are organised, timely and aligned with established security and business continuity procedures. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, technology, risk, legal, communications and third-party teams to minimise impact and support a rapid return to normal operations.

Key responsibilities will include managing the end-to-end incident lifecycle, from initial triage and severity assessment through containment, eradication, recovery and closure. You will facilitate incident response calls, maintain accurate timelines and records, provide clear updates to technical and senior stakeholders, and ensure that critical decisions, actions and risks are documented. The role will also involve contributing to threat-led investigations, coordinating forensic and investigative activity, supporting regulatory or customer reporting where required, and producing detailed post-incident reviews. You will identify lessons learned, track remediation actions and help strengthen response playbooks, processes, controls and operational resilience.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in cyber incident management, security operations or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of incident response frameworks, attack techniques, vulnerabilities and the wider threat landscape. Experience of managing complex or major incidents in a large, regulated or highly available environment would be advantageous. You will be confident working under pressure, able to prioritise competing demands and skilled at communicating complex technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong stakeholder management, analytical thinking, attention to detail and a collaborative approach are essential. Relevant qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, SANS or equivalent practical experience are welcomed, alongside a commitment to continuous improvement and maintaining current cyber security knowledge.
