**Description & Requirements**

**Senior Security Incident Manager (** EMEA - London OR Dublin)

We Protect Bloomberg. The Bloomberg Security Incident Management (Sec IM) team provides consistent coordination and management of information security incidents and events across Bloomberg's diverse lines of business and vast global network.

**What is the team?**

Sec IM works closely with teams across Bloomberg, coordinating, commanding, and documenting responses for all security incidents and high-profile security events. The team is responsible for ensuring responses are efficient and comprehensive. The team also plays a key role in identifying methods to improve upon similar scenarios. Key partners include incident responders, threat intelligence, legal, vulnerability analysts, security program leads, and many other teams within the company.

**What is the role?**

A successful candidate will be focused on coordination, leadership, delegation, documentation, and identification of required response actions, rather than performing technical deep dives such as forensics or reverse engineering. You will be expected to fulfill common incident management roles in a security context where the goal is careful containment and remediation of incidents and events which could jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of Bloomberg systems and records.

**We'll trust you to:**
Lead & focus
Demonstrate clear and calm leadership, setting the tone for each response
Command and coordinate a response to security incidents, relevant threats, and high-profile security events
Scope a response to the next best actions
Ensure response is sustainable for all resources involved
Support beyond normal hours in an emergency or during times of staff shortage
Coordinate & communicate
Delegate tasks in a timely manner and manage them to closure or management handoff
Facilitate incident / threat resolution through prompt communication across multiple teams
Document status and regularly communicate updates to stakeholders and senior management
Maintain and track key metrics and providing reporting related to incident management
Work closely with global Sec IM staff (New York, Dublin, Sydney), ensuring continuous involvement
Update and maintain procedures that effectively guide security incident management
Participate in scenario analyses (e.g. tabletops, functional exercises, etc.)
Participate in skill training
Conduct Post Incident Review (PIR) to identify paths for improving response to similar scenarios, as well as security posture, delivering those requirements to appropriate stakeholders that handle short-, mid- and long-term remediation

**You'll need to have:**
3+ years working in a cyber incident management, cyber incident response, or urgent vulnerability remediation function(s)
Understanding of the security incident lifecycle, including preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review
Experience acting as an Incident Commander, Incident Manager, or equivalent leadership role during an active security incident
Proven ability to manage tasks during high-pressure, complex situations
Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills
Strong critical thinking and decision-making skills
Ownership to identify problems and pursue solutions, individually and collaboratively
Commitment to building strong people networks and collaborative relationships
Effectiveness at using multiple communication styles during incidents
Proven ability to multitask

**We would love to see:**
Experience with developing, maintaining, or improving incident management procedures, playbooks, or operational frameworks
Experience communicating risk and incident status to senior leadership and executive stakeholders
Experience designing and facilitating incident tabletop exercises and simulations
Knowledge or experience in risk assessment, business impact, or operational awareness
Ability to explain complex topics in accessible language
Commitment to develop team members skills
