Senior Incident Responder (Cyber Security)

T1486.

If your stomach just dropped a little, you’ve probably been in the room when it happened for real. That’s exactly who we’re after.

A large Australian organisation is building out its security operations team under a new SOC Manager. They need a Senior Incident Responder who has run live P1s from first alert to stand-down. Tabletops are excellent, but this role needs someone who has done the real thing.

What you’ll be doing
Leading the technical response to cyber incidents, from triage and containment through to recovery and the post-incident review
Acting as lead investigator across endpoint, network, identity and cloud
Holding a managed security service provider to account on escalations, performance and monthly reporting
Writing the playbooks and running the tabletops, so each incident goes better than the last




Threat hunting when things are (relatively) quiet

What you’ll bring
Senior, hands-on incident response experience, including live P1s such as ransomware or BEC
Forensic and investigation skills across endpoint, memory and logs
Hands-on SIEM and EDR experience (Sentinel, Defender, Splunk, CrowdStrike or similar)
Experience managing a third-party security provider, and explicit views on what positive reporting looks like
A calm head at 3am, and the ability to explain what’s going on to senior leaders who aren’t technical

The practical bits
Permanent, full time
Hybrid, Sydney
$160k to $180k base plus super
Reports to the SOC Manager
