Role Overview
As our Project Manager of Incident Response, you will be primarily dedicated to external, client-facing projects within our Incident Response team.
You will be the driving force behind successful, thorough, and robust project deliverables that result in progressive change and secure enhancements to our client’s technical environments.
As the primary face of the team on client calls, you will field questions, establish trust, and set precedent as the go-to person for all incident-related matters.
You will be tasked with understanding the current state of an incident, establishing ownership of the overall direction of containment and recovery, and ensuring all parties are aligned with the verticals defined.
Constantly in sync with the primary lead engineer leading containment and recovery strategies and delivering agreed-upon strategic initiatives to all parties, you will work as part of a dynamic, flexing team – ready to respond at a moment’s notice mapping into your team's on-call rotation.
This position will report directly to our Director of Incident Response PMO.
Responsibilities (including, but not limited to):
Full Job Posting
Skills and Experience
- You’re a knowledge seeker. Regardless of method, you have obtained and exposed yourself to knowledge centers that have qualified you to master technical project delivery and the systems engineering required to successfully recover, deploy, and enhance infrastructures. You ideally have a four-year degree in a relevant field and are working towards or have already obtained your PMP certification.
- You’ve managed projects as the assigned “PM” instead of only having delivered them as an engineer. You enjoy the dynamic of wearing multiple hats and taking the lead on client-facing communication, expectations, and timelines.
- You’ve owned client-facing projects and have established a consultative rapport resulting in high client satisfaction levels upon project closure.
- You have at least 5 years of experience delivering IT waterfall projects working with systems and virtualization with exposure to enterprise infrastructures.
- You keep us true to our word. You have a tried-and-true organizational system to keep yourself (and others) on task while ensuring exceptional quality.
- You possess a winning combination of superb writing skills and highly refined verbal communication skills. You convey energy, confidence, and genuine interest over a call just as easily as you convey competence, professionalism, and trustworthiness in person. You translate to a C-Suite audience as seamlessly as you “talk tech” with engineers. Your emails are professionally worded, grammatically pristine, with the right pinch of personality. In any medium, you pride yourself in clear, effective, and persuasive communication.
- You have an approach to working hours that is more adaptable than the traditional "9-to-5". As this team responds to business-critical remediation projects, we are looking for an individual who is career-driven and won’t shrink back when work requirements extend into evenings, weekends, and holidays. While travel is minimal, you’re also open to getting on a plane when needed to be present at client sites when a project requires it. On the flip side, your hard work is rewarded with a generous comp plan that grows with the efforts you contribute, a flexible PTO policy, and an equally inspiring team that climbs mountains together.
- You are ready to be an effective remote worker and have a dedicated, private space for a home office with a private internet connection with at least 50MBPS bandwidth. Public WiFi and shared common spaces do not meet these standards.
- Desired Personality Traits:
- A Mythical Character. You aren’t alarmed when someone expects you to be a hero; in fact, you pride yourself on frequently delivering big just when all hope seems lost. Your persistence is notable, and you are a determined soul who insists on turning “We can’t” into “We can” If you meet a roadblock, you’ll try to scale it, dodge it, or blast through it before ever admitting defeat.
- The Devil is in the Details. You have an angelic ability to sort through chaos and make order. Your eye and attention for details helps you uncover hidden gems, while your thorough documentation and status updates capture and convey every facet of each stone.
- Corporate Usain Bolt. You’re capable of moving rapidly from task to task without getting rattled. Your desk is clear, your email inbox is empty, your kitchen counters aren’t cluttered, and you never spend 15 minutes tearing around the house in a desperate hunt for your car keys or train pass. You are a lean, mean, well-oiled machine.
- A Combo Meal. Your style is winningly ambidextrous. While you are known to be a loyal teammate and never falter on your commitment to seeing others thrive, you are not a push-over. You will fight back and advocate for the best marriage of client desires and superb delivery-pushing us along the path towards perfection. If Samwise Gamgee and Monica Geller had a child, it would be you.
- Emotionally Mature. Through your years of experience, you’ve learned that occasional hiccups are inevitable and now know enough to just keep moving towards the end goal. You’re calm under pressure, encourage respectful dialog, and understand that communication is the balm that can soothe the sting of conflict.
- The benefits package consists of:
- Generous annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (pro-rata if part-time working hours apply)
- Gym discount
- Life insurance
- Comprehensive travel insurance for you and your family in line with scheme rules
- Confidential well-being and counselling support
- Competitive Compensation
- Contributory pension scheme
- Company events
- Private Medical and Dental Insurance
