I'm working with a global risk and investigations consultancy to find an experienced Digital Forensic Consultant for their growing London team. This is a role for someone who wants full ownership of high-stakes casework rather than a slice of someone else's investigation. One day a week in the London office, so you need to be semi-local.
Responsibilities
- Lead forensic investigations independently, ensuring best practice in evidence handling and analysis.
- Perform digital collections remotely and onsite using industry-standard tooling.
- Analyse data across mobile, desktop, laptop, and server sources.
- Prepare structured forensic reports that work for both legal and non-technical audiences.
- Present findings to clients and translate technical conclusions into business-relevant language.
- Attend client sites for collections as required, with frequency varying by matter.
