About the Role

BOXX Insurance is redefining how small and mid-sized businesses prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. As a Cyber Security Lead, you will be at the core of that mission.

You’ll lead frontline containment efforts for clients experiencing cyber incidents, coordinating rapid triage, engaging key partners (forensics, legal, PR), and guiding clients through the most stressful moments of their digital lives.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Hackbusters, as well as underwriters, claims specialists, and security partners. You’ll also contribute directly to the continuous improvement of BOXX’s incident response protocols, playbooks, and the broader cyber risk intelligence program.
