Build the intelligence program - Define intelligence requirements with SOC leadership and customers and run the full intelligence lifecycle from collection through feedback. - Deliver strategic, operational, and tactical products: actor profiles, campaign analysis, industry threat briefs, and customer-specific reports. - Track the actors that matter most to our customers, including financially motivated groups, payment fraud operations, and ransomware crews targeting retail and hospitality. Turn intelligence into detection - Own detection content strategy across SIEM and EDR/XDR, including development, testing, tuning, and coverage measured against MITRE ATT&CK. - Run hypothesis-driven threat hunts across customer environments and feed what you find back into new detections. - Use automation and AI to scale enrichment, triage support, and reporting so the team can focus on analysis, not busywork. Step in when it matters - Provide intelligence context during major incidents and lead during complex escalations. Be the voice of the team - Serve as a trusted advisor to customers through briefings, reports, and presentations for both technical and executive audiences. - Run the team on clear metrics such as detection coverage, hunt findings, reporting timeliness, and customer satisfaction, and contribute to service planning and new offerings. What success looks like - First 90 days: Assess the team, tooling, and current detection coverage. Agree on intelligence requirements with SOC leadership and key customers. - By 6 months: A regular cadence of industry threat reporting, plus an ATT&CK coverage baseline and roadmap. - By 12 months: Measurable gains in detection coverage and hunt-driven findings, and a team customers see as the go-to source on threats to their industry. ## What you bring Required - 8+ years in cybersecurity across threat intelligence, threat hunting, incident response, detection engineering, or security operations. - 3+ years managing technical security teams, including hiring and developing people. - Deep knowledge of adversary tactics and the frameworks used to analyze them, such as MITRE ATT&CK, the intelligence lifecycle, and the Diamond Model. - A track record of producing finished intelligence for both technical and executive audiences. - Hands-on experience with SIEM (FortiSIEM, Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Google Chronicle, or ArcSight) and EDR/XDR platforms and their query languages (KQL, SPL, or similar). Our environment includes FortiSIEM; equivalent experience is welcome. - Experience supporting complex investigations and incident response. - Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills. - Clear writing and speaking skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into business risk. ## Nice to have - Experience at an MSSP or MDR provider serving many customers. - Background in retail, hospitality, or payments environments, including POS systems or PCI DSS. - Detection-as-code, Sigma, SOAR, or scripting (e.g., Python). - Experience with threat intelligence platforms and feeds, such as MISP or Recorded Future. - Cloud and SaaS investigations across Azure, AWS, or Microsoft 365. - Active involvement in intelligence-sharing communities such as RH-ISAC. - Certifications such as GCTI, GCFA, GCIH, GREM, or CISSP are welcome but not required. A bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. If you're close on the requirements and excited about the work, we'd still like to hear from you.
