WHO WE ARE
S-RM is a global intelligence and cyber security consultancy. Since 2005, we've helped some of the most demanding clients in the world solve some of their toughest information security challenges.
We've been able to do this because of our outstanding people. We're committed to developing sharp, curious, driven individuals who want to think critically, solve complex problems, and achieve success.
But we also know that work isn't everything. It's about the lives and careers it helps us build. We're immensely proud of this culture and we invest in our people's wellbeing, learning, and ideas every day.
We're excited you're thinking about joining us.
WORKING IN CYBER AT S-RM
Our Cyber Security division is the fastest-growing part of S-RM. Demand for our Advisory, Ethical Hacking and Incident Response practices has never been higher, and the threat landscape keeps changing.
We are building a team to keep pace, one that responds quickly, innovates and keeps improving. We also don't believe there is a typical cyber security professional. Our people include intelligence analysts, technical specialists, software developers, investigators and risk managers, so you will always be working alongside different perspectives and expertise that help you learn and grow.
If that sounds like your kind of team, we would like to hear from you.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a Engagement Lead to join our Cyber Incident Response team as an Engagement Lead.
Role responsibilities include:
- Project scoping: you will be a first responder to cyber-attacks, running triage calls with clients to understand the scope of the incident and setting out how S-RM can support.
- Project management: from that first call to the incident’s conclusion, you will be responsible for ensuring the response is managed effectively and efficiently, delivering for all stakeholders while on schedule and within budget. Typical workstreams include:
- Working with clients to ensure that incidents are contained.
- Overseeing a team of forensic analysts investigating the incident.
- Advising strategies for responding to cyber threat actors.
- Providing crisis management expertise to help clients navigate the incident.
- Relationship management: you will be responsible for building and developing relationships with the various stakeholders involved in a cyber incident, from the victims themselves to lawyers and insurance professionals.
We nurture a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, and we are dedicated to developing a workforce that displays a variety of talents, experiences, and perspectives.
