Who You’ll Work With

The Information Technology organization is the technological foundation of our business and works in collaboration with our partners from across the company. The team drives technology and digital transformation, partners with business leaders to design and execute new strategies through IT and operations services and ensures the necessary IT risk management and security measures are in place and aligned with enterprise architecture standards and principles. 

About The Role

As a Senior Investigations Analyst, you are the lead "digital detective" for the organization. You will be responsible for conducting complex, forensically sound investigations into security breaches, policy violations, and potential litigation matters. You will leverage advanced forensic suites—with a particular focus on Nuix—to parse massive datasets, recover "hidden" evidence, and build a factual narrative for legal, HR, and executive stakeholders.

  • Remote Collections: Utilize enterprise forensic tools to perform stealthy, remote data acquisitions without disrupting business operations. 


Deep-Dive Investigation & Analysis

  • Axiom/Nuix Power User: Utilize forensic toolsets to ingest, process, and analyze multi-terabyte datasets. You will be expected to create complex search queries, perform deduplication, and identify communication patterns across disparate data sources. 
  • Artifact Analysis: Investigate system artifacts (e.g. Registry, MFT, Shellbags, LNK files) to reconstruct user activity and timeline events. 
  • Data Recovery: Perform file carving and unallocated space analysis to recover deleted or obscured evidence. 
  • Email & Communication Forensics: Conduct deep-dive analysis of PST/OST files and cloud-based mail (O365/Gmail) to identify evidence of data exfiltration or collusion. 


Reporting & Stakeholder Management

  • Expert Reporting: Translate technical forensic findings into clear, "plain English" investigative reports suitable for legal proceedings or executive review. 
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Act as the technical liaison for Legal, HR, and Internal Audit teams to define the scope of investigations and provide status updates on high-sensitivity cases. 
  • Continuous Improvement: Refine forensic workflows and laboratory standards to ensure the team stays ahead of anti-forensic techniques.

  • Preferred Certifications 
  • Tool-Specific: Nuix Workstation Forensic Practitioner, EnCE, or MCFE.
