Your work profile

As a Deputy Manager in our Cyber Team you’ll build and nurture positive working relationships with teams and clients with the intention to exceed client expectations.

·      Drive investigations into credential compromise, phishing-led intrusions, lateral movement, insider activity, privilege abuse, ransomware precursors, and persistence mechanisms.

·      Build incident timelines, case notes, decision logs, and structured evidence trails to support technical investigations and leadership reporting.

·      Lead or support incident bridge calls, stakeholder updates, and client-facing breach communications during active response situations.

·      Collaborate with SOC, engineering, identity, and infrastructure teams to improve investigative workflows, response procedures, and playbooks.

·      Deliver tabletop IR assessments, real-life IR simulations, and after-action reviews for technical and executive audiences.

·      Contribute to root cause analysis, lessons learned, and resilience improvement recommendations following major incidents.

·      Mentor junior responders and act as a technical escalation point for complex or high-severity investigations.

Required Knowledge

·      Overall experience of at least 6+ years in cyber security with strong hands-on exposure to incident response, incident management, and breach investigations.

·      Experience handling live incidents with ownership across triage, containment, remediation support, root cause analysis, and reporting.

·      Strong knowledge of Windows, Active Directory, DNS, Linux, networking, and enterprise identity investigations.

·      Hands-on experience with SIEM tools such as QRadar, Sentinel, or equivalent, and EDR tools such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, or equivalent.

·      Strong understanding of MITRE ATT&CK framework, cyber kill chain, attacker tradecraft, and adversary-focused investigation methods.

·      Experience using evidence sources beyond dashboards, including endpoint artefacts, identity logs, cloud logs, network evidence, and mailbox review.

·      Familiarity with SOAR technologies, playbooks, case management workflows, and ITSM tools for incident management.

·      Ability to work in time-sensitive and stressful situations with professionalism, structured communication, and sound containment judgment.
