Job description

Are you curious about technology, investigations and digital evidence, but still at the start of your career? Join our Starters Academy and learn how to uncover the facts behind complex cases, analyse large volumes of data and use innovative technology to solve challenges that matter.

What you’ll be doing

You'll work at the intersection of technology, investigations, and legal matters. Using advanced forensic technologies, data analytics, and investigative techniques, you'll help organizations uncover facts, respond to incidents, and solve complex challenges.

One day, you may be investigating a large-scale cyber incident. When an organization is affected by ransomware or a data breach, you'll help determine how access was gained, what information may have been compromised, and what evidence is needed to understand the full scope of the incident.

The next day, you may be supporting a high-profile fraud, corruption, cartel, or regulatory investigation. In these matters, you'll analyse digital evidence to help organizations, lawyers, and regulators understand what happened. Sometimes, the key to an entire case is hidden in a single email, document, or communication.

Your work starts with collecting and preserving digital evidence. You'll secure and forensically acquire data from laptops, smartphones, servers, cloud environments, and other digital sources. Using advanced forensic and Legal Tech solutions, you'll process and analyse large datasets containing millions of files, emails, and communications.

As you develop your expertise, you'll learn how to:

• Conduct digital forensic investigations;
• Analyse cyber incidents and data breaches;
• Extract, process, and preserve digital evidence;
• Search and analyse large volumes of structured and unstructured data;
• Use advanced forensic and Legal Tech solutions;
• Identify patterns, anomalies, and critical pieces of evidence;
• Translate complex findings into clear insights for clients.

Alongside client projects, you'll contribute to internal innovation initiatives and technology development projects. It's a role for people who enjoy technology, investigations, data analysis, and problem-solving, and who want to become experts in digital forensics and data-driven investigations.

The Starters Academy

Your journey starts with an intensive four-week bootcamp designed to prepare you for the role. Through hands-on training, real-life case studies, and practical exercises, you'll build a strong foundation in digital forensics, investigations, Legal Tech, and forensic data analysis.

After the bootcamp, you'll continue to grow through our two-year development programme for early-career professionals. Together with your training group, you'll participate in coaching sessions, peer learning, and workshops focused on both technical expertise and professional skills.

By combining learning with real client work from day one, you'll rapidly develop into a trusted consultant who can navigate complex investigations, analyse digital evidence, and help clients solve critical business, legal, and incident-related challenges.

Who are we looking for?

• You have a study background in law, criminology, IT, data science or any other relevant study;
• 0-3 years of work experience;
• You have an interest in and affinity for data, analytics and IT, but also for law and forensic science;
• Because we often work with sensitive information, it is important that you have integrity and environmental awareness;
• You are an expert in processing a lot of information and you like to work in a problem-solving way;
• You are analytically strong and work accurately;
• You are fluent in English and at least one of the following languages: French, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian.

What do we offer?

• A full-time contract for two years: we are looking forward to a nice cooperation!
• A competitive salary of €3.300,00 per month (including vacation allowance and a 13th month)
• A mobility allowance;
• Bonus scheme based on company and personal performance;
• A strong pension plan, fully funded by Forcyd;
• 28 vacation days and the option to buy 15 more;
• A laptop and phone;
• Continue and grow with our fast-growing organization;
• International opportunities, work a period at one of our overseas offices in London or Brussels;
• Lots of development: starting with a 4-week content bootcamp, followed by an extensive two-year development program (all during working hours!).
