What you'll be doing...

As a Principal Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Consultant in EMEA, you will operate as a lead technical investigator and crisis commander across high-stakes enterprise cyber investigations. You’ll play a high-impact role leading end-to-end reactive and proactive investigations into severe, complex cyber intrusions—including nation-state APT campaigns, double-extortion ransomware, and deep edge-device compromises—directing host, network, and cloud forensics while ensuring rigorous, court-defensible evidence integrity.

Beyond active crisis command, you will drive customer-facing cyber resilience as a trusted advisor and Customer Success Manager for key enterprise accounts. You will partner cross-functionally across IT engineering, legal counsel, risk governance, and executive leadership (delivering Gold Command and Board-level briefings) to translate incident findings into actionable defense transformations and continuous posture uplift.

Further, you will support commercial practice growth across EMEA. Leveraging your deep technical expertise and executive presence, you will steer pre-sales engagements, scope opportunities, and support cross-tower RFP solutions integrating DFIR, threat intelligence, proactive assessments, and expand strategic accounts to secure new business.

What we're looking for...

You are a senior, hands-on consulting expert who thrives under pressure and excels at navigating complex cybersecurity crises. You enjoy building trusted relationships with executive stakeholders to solve their toughest cyber resilience challenges. You’re a natural technical leader and team player who can seamlessly transition between technical investigation, pre-sales solutioning, and C-suite communication.

In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes work from home and assigned office days set by your manager.
