Job Description
Investigator – Cyber Incident Response
Location: Flexible (UK)
Who We Are
Accenture’s global Incident Response team takes on some of the hardest and most meaningful challenges in cyber security. As a part of this team you’ll work with cutting‑edge technologies and a breadth of expertise across time zones and cultures.
What You’ll Do
You’ll help organisations investigate, contain and recover from a full spectrum of cyber incidents, from sophisticated intrusions to complex fraud and ransomware. You’ll also work proactively with clients running tabletop exercises, purple‑team operations, playbook development and building resilience before the next crisis.
Qualifications
* Understand what an attack looks like on hosts and across the network.
* Think like an attacker and spot lateral movement.
* Build labs, experiment, break things.
* Use frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and care about TTPs, not just tools.
* Have seen what a “bad day” looks like in an incident, and still want more.
Formal qualifications are great, but curiosity and practical experience count too. Certifications are welcome.
Benefits
* Access to world‑class training and tools, and a global network of experts.
* Variety: you’ll move between crisis work, proactive resilience and strategic recovery.
* The chance to make a real difference; sometimes even save lives.
* A supportive, welfare‑focused culture that understands the demands of the job.
We know incident response can be intense, and we look after our people accordingly.
Flexibility and Mobility
Flexibility and mobility are required to deliver this role as there may be requirements to spend time onsite with our clients and partners.
