DFIR Engagement Manager

As a DFIR Engagement Manager, you will serve as the critical link between our DFIR analysts, customers, and internal stakeholders during high-stakes investigations, ensuring each engagement is properly scoped, resourced, and executed to the highest standards. You will own the full lifecycle of incident response engagements — from intake and scoping through to final delivery — balancing operational rigor with a strong client-focused approach. In addition to your project management and communication leadership, you will provide hands-on technical expertise by directing analytical focus, validating team findings, and supporting forensic analysis to maintain investigative momentum.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• Oversee active DFIR investigations from intake through delivery, ensuring exceptional quality, timeliness of deliverables, appropriate resource allocation, and strict adherence to incident response best practices and standard operating procedures.
• Lead business development and scoping activities — including requirements gathering and contract development — while establishing and maintaining clear communication channels with customers, internal teams, breach counsel, and cyber insurance carriers.
• Direct analytical focus, validate team findings, and manage escalations to ensure technical workstreams meet customer expectations and investigative momentum is maintained throughout the engagement.
• Maintain oversight of case documentation, evidence handling, and final artifact archival, and lead post-engagement reviews and process improvement initiatives to continuously optimize team workflows.
• Conduct technical analysis when required, assisting with endpoint forensics, log analysis, and baseline threat hunting, while maintaining flexibility to participate in weekend and holiday on-call schedules.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5+ years of hands-on consulting experience in digital forensics and incident response, with a proven track record of managing complex engagements and expert-level familiarity with industry-standard forensic tools and methodologies.
• Strong project management and team leadership skills, combined with excellence in client communication, relationship management, and experience working with legal teams and cyber insurance carriers.
• Strong understanding of EDR/XDR platforms and security technologies, with demonstrated experience in endpoint-based threat hunting, compromise assessments, and cyber threat intelligence platforms and processes.
• Experience conducting malware analysis and memory forensics preferred, along with industry certifications such as GCFE, GCFA, CFCE, EnCE, or similar.
• An evident self-starter with intellectual curiosity, the ability to adapt to change, and active participation in the security community through speaking engagements or publications preferred.
