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. Within CIFR, our Cyber Recovery practice is focused on the technical "how" of cyber recovery, building the tools, playbooks, and team capabilities that enable resilient and secure restoration when it matters most. The team operates across the Americas, providing expertise to multinational clients and shaping thought leadership inside and outside the firm.
You Are:
An enterprise infrastructure leader who thinks in systems and dependencies. You have deep experience designing, managing, or recovering large-scale enterprise environments and you understand how the pieces connect, what depends on what, and what has to come back first when everything is down. You can walk a client through a recovery strategy in the boardroom and get hands-on when the team needs it. Active Directory, network topology, storage architecture, cloud infrastructure - you speak this language fluently and can apply it under pressure when it matters most. You take ownership of the recovery approach, you direct the team, and you raise the bar on what structured, secure restoration looks like at enterprise scale. You build trusted relationships with senior clients, communicate complex technical decisions with clarity and composure, and translate recovery outcomes into strategic guidance that matters to the business. Beyond client delivery, you are a builder - invested in shaping the capability, maturing the offering, and growing the practice.
The Work:
Lead enterprise recovery engagements during active cyber incidents, directing recovery sequencing and strategy across complex, multi-tier environments from initial triage through full restoration
Map client environment architecture, application dependencies, and infrastructure relationships to develop and execute a structured recovery plan that brings the right systems back in the right order
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior client stakeholders throughout the recovery lifecycle, communicating complex infrastructure and recovery decisions with clarity and composure under pressure
Develop, refine, and maintain technical recovery playbooks, workflows, and runbooks tailored to enterprise environments that enable consistent and secure restoration
Own the deployment, configuration, and ongoing validation of recovery tools and technologies so they are optimized and ready when needed
Translate lessons learned from recovery engagements into strategic and tactical transformation roadmaps that enable organizations to build a more secure and resilient enterprise environment post-incident
Assess team technical capabilities, identify gaps, and design and deliver training programs that elevate recovery expertise across the practice
Represent the practice with professionalism and adaptability in high-stakes, client-facing situations
Drive capability development within the recovery practice by building and maturing the tools, methodologies, and frameworks that define how the team delivers at scale - serving as a technical leader and subject matter expert within the practice, not just on engagements
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 75% depending on business need and client requirements.
Here's What You Need:
Minimum 8 years of experience in enterprise architecture, infrastructure design, or a closely related discipline spanning servers, storage, networking, and cloud environments
Minimum 1 years of demonstrated experience mapping application dependencies and infrastructure relationships across large, complex enterprise environments
Min8imum 1 years demonstrated experience with enterprise backup and restoration tools in large-scale environments
Minimum 3 years of experience engaging directly with senior or executive stakeholders, communicating complex technical concepts with clarity and confidence in high-stakes situations
