• Building and improving incident response capabilities, processes, playbooks and runbooks.
• Supporting tabletop exercises, simulations and cyber readiness activities.

• Strong stakeholder management and documentation skills.
• Ability to drive continuous improvement across cyber incident response and resilience.
