We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Forensic Specialist to support investigative activities through the collection, preservation, analysis, and reporting of digital evidence. The person in this role will play a critical part in uncovering reliable facts related to cyber incidents, data breaches, fraud, internal policy violations, and other technology-driven crimes or irregularities. The ideal candidate should understand proper methods for acquiring evidence from computers, mobile devices, servers, network logs, cloud environments, and other digital sources while maintaining chain of custody and evidence integrity.
This role requires a professional who combines strong technical expertise with integrity, confidentiality, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively under pressure. The Forensic Specialist will use a variety of tools and methodologies to recover data, perform timeline analysis, observe malware behavior, correlate logs, analyze user activity, and determine the root cause of suspicious events. In many cases, the specialist will collaborate with legal teams, information security staff, human resources, management, and external investigative bodies.
To succeed in this position, the candidate must be comfortable making evidence-based conclusions and capable of translating complex technical findings into clear, understandable language. Preparing investigation reports, expert opinions, presentations, and documentation for possible hearings or testimony is an important part of the job. The role may also include contributing to security policy improvements, post-incident reviews, risk identification, and recommendations for future preventive controls.
We value candidates who stay current with emerging threats, new technologies, and forensic standards. A strong foundation in digital forensics, cybersecurity, data analysis, and investigative procedures is essential for this position. If you are motivated by uncovering the truth, identifying subtle inconsistencies in data, and making a real impact through technical investigations, this role may be an excellent fit for you. You will have the opportunity to work in a professional, collaborative, and high-responsibility environment where your analytical skills directly contribute to organizational security, fair decision-making, and effective risk management.
