DFIR Engagement Manager

The Opportunity: 

You know that project managers touch every single part of a business and wear multiple hats: from caring for the client and their meaningful project goals to participating in business development and being a key contributor to their employees’ growth. We’re looking for someone like you to help our clients meet their mission by providing crisis management and leadership for our commercial clients experiencing a cyber breach event.

You’ll move quickly in an exciting, high volume, and fluid environment to lead the Agile development of a project roadmap, milestones, and metrics to track progress while working to coordinate multiple DFIR teams, on-site recovery teams, clients, and counsel to ensure that the cyber crisis response activities remain on-track, status and actions are collected and communicated effectively, and client needs are met.  

Work with us to transform the future of DFIR as we help commercial and critical infrastructure companies around the world scope, respond, investigate, and recover from major cyber attacks.
