The KPMG Risk Consulting function is a cornerstone of our business. Operating from locations across the UK, we do work that matters, serving the country with diligence and expertise.

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected consultancies. We've supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. We've proudly stood beside the institutions and businesses which make the UK what it is.

By encompassing a wide range of disciplines across a breadth of areas such as Customer Experience and Digital, Strategy, Forensic, Risk and Regulatory, People and Talent, and Operational and Financial Transformation, we become immersed in our clients' organisations, applying sector knowledge and technology solutions to deliver the best possible outcomes and get it right first time.

Why Join KPMG as a Cyber Response & Recovery Manager?

The Cyber Response & Recovery Manager role will be working in the Cyber Response Services (CRS) Team within our Risk Consulting practice, reporting directly into the head of cyber response. Cyber security is one of the areas which KPMG has identified for tremendous investment and growth. Our clients face a challenging cyber threat and look to us to help them understand and respond to that threat.

This is an opportunity to join a high performing team that works with a wide variety of clients, as KPMG are 1 of just 9 tier 1 responders in the UK. As such, you will gain a huge amount of experience in a short space of time and will also have the opportunity to be put through a range of security certifications.

What will you be doing?

• Manage and co-ordinate cyber security incidents for our clients (this includes being available to work on-call on a monthly basis).
• Digital forensics of relevant incident data (disk, volatile memory, network packets, log files).
• Maintaining a current view of the cyber threat and being able to advise clients on the threat landscape and attacks which may be relevant to them.
• Liaising with clients on delivery, implementation and project issues.
• Ability to generate well-structured responses to bids and requests for proposals.

What will you need to do it?

• A broad understanding of the cyber security threat landscape.
• Strong technical background in computers and networks, and programming skills.
• Significant and proven experience of dealing with cyber security incidents and associated response measures.
• Understanding of a wide range of information security and IT methodologies, principles, technologies and techniques.
• Excellent interpersonal, written and communication skills.

Skills we’d love to see/Amazing Extras:

• A current government security clearance (SC/DV) or willingness to acquire such a clearance will be seen as an advantage.
• Incident management certifications such as:
  • CREST certified incident manager (CCIM)
  • GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH)
• Degree level qualified, MSc in Information Security, IT or relevant STEM subjects.
