• Collaborate with client security teams, managed service providers, and senior stakeholders to coordinate response activities and maintain situational awareness
• Produce accurate incident timelines, technical findings, and investigation reports for both technical and management-level audiences
• Provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to improve client security controls and incident response maturity
• Contribute to the development and refinement of incident response playbooks, detection rules, and supporting tools
• Assist in the design and delivery of tabletop exercises and cyber incident simulations to help clients test and improve their readiness

• Practical knowledge of security technologies including SIEM, EDR, IDS/IPS, and firewalls
• Solid understanding of network protocols, Windows and Linux operating systems, and cloud environments
• Knowledge of contemporary cyber threats, threat actor behaviours, and common attack methodologies
• Strong analytical and investigative skills with the ability to interpret technical evidence and develop clear, actionable conclusions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex findings to non-technical audiences
