About the Role
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, 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 to translate incident findings into actionable defense transformations and continuous posture uplift. Further, you will support commercial practice growth across EMEA by steering pre-sales engagements, scoping opportunities, and supporting cross-tower RFP solutions.

- Serve as the principal DFIR liaison and customer success lead for assigned critical enterprise accounts, supervising delivery across the Rapid Response Retainer (RRR) lifecycle, and advising client executives on evolving threat campaigns and security investments.
- Drive practice-level growth by providing technical and executive presence during pre-sales pursuits, scoping calls, and client briefings, while authoring cross-tower Request for Proposal (RFP) solutions.
- Deliver technical thought leadership through white papers, industry conferences, webinars, and threat advisories, while mentoring and providing technical oversight to EMEA VTRAC consultants.
