Investigator – Cyber Incident Response
Location: Flexible (UK)
Please note: Due to the nature of client work you will be undertaking, you will need to be willing to go through a Security Clearance process as part of this role, which requires 5+ years UK address history at the point of application.
Who We Are
We’re a globally distributed team of nearly 200 dedicated incident responders, forensics specialists, and crisis managers spread across more than 25 countries. Every day, we work across time zones, cultures, and languages to protect clients that range from household brands to nationally significant infrastructure. We’re one of the NCSC CIR-enhanced capabilities in the UK and our team is trusted to respond to the nation’s most critical incidents.
What You’ll Do
You’ll help organisations investigate, contain, and recover from the full spectrum of cyber incidents, from sophisticated intrusions to complex fraud and ransomware. Between high‑intensity engagements, you’ll also get to work proactively with clients, running tabletop exercises, purple‑team operations, playbook development, and helping them build resilience before the next crisis strikes. You’ll collaborate closely with forensics, threat intelligence, and crisis management teams to help clients make the right decisions in the toughest moments.
Qualifications
- Understand what an attack looks like, both on hosts and across the network.
- Think like an attacker and spot lateral movement.
- Build labs, experiment, break things.
- Use frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and focus on TTPs, not just tools.
- Have experienced incident responses and want more.
Formal qualifications are great, but curiosity and practical experience count for more. Certifications are welcome, but evidence of training that improves your work or strengthens your team is also valued.
What You’ll Get
- Access to world‑class training and tools, and a global network of experts.
- Variety: cycle between crisis work, proactive resilience, and strategic recovery.
- The chance to make a real difference and sometimes save lives.
- A supportive, welfare‑focused culture that understands the demands of the job.
Flexibility and mobility are required, as you may need to spend time onsite with clients and partners.
