We9re looking for a staff-level investigator who operates at the intersection of insider threat, digital/hardware forensics, and executive protection. This is a hybrid role for someone who has led complex insider risk cases end-to-end, can walk into a forensic exam and brief executives in the same week, and is equally comfortable planning a principal9s travel security as they are imaging a hard drive for a legal hold. You9ll be the senior technical and investigative resource on a small, high-trust team, and you9ll help mature our insider risk, forensics, and physical security programs.
As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will...Insider Threat & Investigations
- Lead insider risk investigations from initial detection through closure, including scoping, evidence collection, interviews, findings, and remediation recommendations
- Partner closely with HR, Legal, and Employee Relations to ensure investigations are conducted defensibly, confidentially, and in compliance with employment law and privacy requirements
- Build and mature insider risk program components: detection use cases, escalation criteria, case management workflows, and cross-functional playbooks
- Brief sensitive findings to senior stakeholders (Legal, HR, executive leadership) with appropriate discretion and documentation
Digital & Hardware Forensics
- Conduct forensic acquisition and analysis of laptops, mobile devices, removable media, and network artifacts in support of investigations
- Maintain chain of custody and produce forensically sound, litigation-ready documentation
- Perform hardware-level forensics (disk imaging, device teardown/analysis, embedded storage) in addition to standard digital forensics
- Apply and maintain relevant certifications (IACIS CFCE or equivalent; EnCE, GCFE, or similar strongly preferred)
Physical Security & Executive Protection
- Provide executive protection coverage for principals during domestic and international travel and at company events and conferences.
- Lead security planning for company conferences and events
- Conduct pre-travel intelligence and risk assessments (geopolitical, environmental, venue-specific) to inform protective planning
- Coordinate directly with executive assistants on itineraries, logistics, and advance planning to ensure protection is seamless and low-friction
- Support physical security assessments of office locations, facilities and events, identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities and additional ways to secure them
If You9ve Got It - We Want It- 7+ years of experience across insider threat investigations, digital/hardware forensics, and physical/executive protection (or a combination demonstrating equivalent depth)
- Demonstrated experience serving as lead investigator on insider risk cases involving sensitive, high-stakes, or legally exposed matters
- Working knowledge of employment law, HR investigation standards, and confidentiality requirements as they apply to internal investigations
- Hands-on forensic skills with standard tooling (e.g., EnCase, FTK, Cellebrite, X-Ways) and hardware-level forensic techniques
- Active or recent certification through IACIS (CFCE) or comparable digital forensics credentialing body
- Prior experience in executive protection, including travel risk assessment/intelligence gathering and direct coordination with executive support staff
- Excellent judgment and discretion; ability to hold confidentiality under pressure and manage competing stakeholder interests
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical forensic findings for non-technical, legal, and executive audiences
- Willingness and ability to travel on short notice, including internationally
Preferred
- Background in law enforcement, military, or federal investigative service
- Experience building or scaling an insider risk program from an early or immature state
- Clearance at the TS level preferred, Secret will be reviewed
- Familiarity with UEBA/DLP tooling and insider threat detection platforms
