Infrastructure Operations Specialist - Incident Response and Recovery

We Are: Accenture Security is one of the fastest growing areas of our business, and our global Cyber Investigation and Forensic Response (CIFR) practice is at the heart of how we help clients prepare for, respond to, and recover from the most consequential cyber incidents.

You have a strong foundation in Windows, *Nix, and Mac operating systems to support a growing number of CIFR team members. The Work: Serve as a hands-on technical resource during CTO-led engagements, providing capable execution across forensic imaging, hardware builds, cloud provisioning, and AI proof-of-concept work.

Partner with the CTO and senior technologists on rapid prototyping, demos, and executive briefings — translating complex technical work into clear updates for non-technical stakeholders while operating with discretion and confidentiality.
