Job Description

The future
isn’t waiting. It’s accelerating. Threat actors are evolving. Technology is
moving faster than ever. And when everything hits at once - that’s when Atmos
steps in.

Welcome to
the specialist First Response Team at Atmos

We operate
at the frontline of cyber incidents, data breaches and digital crises - where
legal risk, operational response and reputational impact converge in real time.

When a
major breach unfolds.
When regulators need answers.
When customers, stakeholders and boards demand clarity.

That’s
where we operate.

We bring
together law, cyber intelligence, crisis communications and digital expertise -
standing alongside our clients in their most critical moments. And we’re
growing.

Your
Mission

Lead and coordinate frontline
incident response, working directly with clients, internal teams, and the Atmos
First Response and Remediation Panel to manage high stakes cyber and privacy
events as they unfold.

You’ll take ownership of matters
involving:

  • Cyber incidents and
    data breaches
  • Privacy events and
    regulatory notification strategy
  • Crisis response,
    government and stakeholder management
  • Cross-border incident
    coordination, drawing on international expertise from our Atmos Atlas
    global panel
  • Post-incident
    remediation and risk mitigation

You’ll work
shoulder-to-shoulder with:

  • Leading cyber incident
    responders
  • Digital forensics and
    threat intelligence teams
  • Crisis communications
    specialists
  • Regulators and global
    legal partners
  • Cyber insurance leaders
  • Our inhouse product and
    data teams which underpin our service delivery
  • Our internal Readiness,
    Recovery, and Disputes and Investigations teams

This isn’t
traditional legal work. This is legal led crisis response in real time

You will be
coached and mentored by Atmos’ leading team of First Response Partners –
Reece Corbett-Wilkins, Richard Berkahn, Stefanie Luhrs, Anthony Cooke, Georgia
Schulberg and Claudia Dennison, together with other leading Partners and
Directors within the Atmos Group.

You Might
Be

An Associate, Senior Associate
or Special Counsel with:

  • Experience in cyber
    incident response, privacy, regulatory or technology matters
  • A desire to move beyond
    traditional law firm thinking into dynamic, real-time advisory, with a
    strong client facing role
  • Strong judgement in
    high-pressure, fast-moving environments
  • The ability to
    translate complex legal and technical issues into clear, actionable advice
  • A collaborative mindset
    and interest in working across disciplines

We are
looking to build the next generation of industry leaders with a passion for
solving technology related harms and protecting our community. Experience in cyber
incident response, data protection and/or privacy law or in-house incident
response is highly valued but mindset, adaptability and curiosity matter just
as much.
