Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Manager to join our Global LevelBlue DFIR team. This is a practitioner-led, client facing role for an experienced DFIR professional with a strong delivery background. The ideal candidate will be more 'hands on' and responsible for leading the response to cybersecurity incidents and conducting digital forensic and incident response investigations end-to-end, from forensics to log analysis to report writing and presenting findings to clients clearly, confidently and defensibly.
This role requires deep technical expertise, sound judgement, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
Key Responsibilities:

Hands on Digital Forensics & Incident Response:
Lead and coordinate responses to cybersecurity incidents, including identification, containment, eradication, and recovery, managing engagements and workstreams with limited supervision.
Remain hands-on in delivery, analyzing and investigating security breaches to determine root cause and impact.
Conduct digital forensic science-based incident response investigations across a variety of digital devices, including servers and end user workstations, network systems and SaaS platforms that contain artifacts, logging, and data of investigative relevance.
Collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Support the scoping of engagements and development of workplans.
Delegate and supervise tasks for junior colleagues, providing guidance and mentoring during engagements.
Reporting and Documentation:
Prepare detailed incident reports, including findings and properly authoring a story that does not just restate factual dates/times, but articulates a clear and defensible narrative of the incident for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Review and quality control deliverables produced by others.
Maintain accurate and thorough documentation of all incident response activities and forensic investigations.
Contribute to refining and developing SOPs to improve our services and capabilities.
