About the role
- You’ll act as a trusted security advisor and program architect, working directly with CISOs, security leaders, and operational teams within customer environments to align Binalyze’s capabilities to real-world risk, workflows, and outcomes.
- You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, knowing when to lead at the executive level - and when to go hands-on alongside customer teams to unblock progress.
- Your focus will include:
- Strategic security leadership
- - Partner with CISOs and senior stakeholders to understand security strategy, business context, and risk appetite
- - Translate security objectives and policies into executable programs and measurable outcomes
- - Build alignment across security, IT, engineering, and business teams
- - Guide customers toward meaningful improvements in detection, response, and forensic readiness - not just tool adoption
- Operational program ownership
- - Define success metrics across detection, response, readiness, and investigation workflows
- - Establish operational cadence, track progress, and ensure follow-through on initiatives
- - Conduct maturity assessments and identify opportunities for continuous improvement
- - Act as a steady, trusted presence during complex initiatives or high-stakes moments
- Technical and workflow architecture
- - Design and optimize workflows across:
- - Strategic (governance, measurement, continuous improvement)
- - People (incident escalation, coordination, communication)
- - Product (detection logic, response playbooks, enrichment pipelines)
- - Ensure workflows align to customer objectives while leveraging Binalyze’s strengths
- - Maintain deep technical fluency across security operations and forensic workflows
- Selective hands-on execution
- - Define or prototype targeted integrations, automations, or SOAR playbooks when needed to unlock outcomes
- - Validate technical workflows and support POCs for new capabilities
- - Stay close enough to the tooling and data to maintain strong technical credibility
- AI & automation-first execution
- - Apply AI and no-code / low-code automation tools (e.g. Zapier, Make, Notion AI, ChatGPT, Airtable) to streamline workflows
- - Help customers and internal teams adopt more automated, intelligence-driven ways of working
- - Continuously explore and apply emerging AI capabilities to accelerate security outcomes.
- This is a senior, high-impact role - ideal for someone who enjoys shaping security programs, influencing leaders, and turning complex environments into well-run, measurable systems.
Requirements
- Strong background in cybersecurity (e.g. IR, SOC operations, detection engineering, security engineering, DFIR)
- Experience in leadership roles
- Proven ability to lead security programs, not just implement tools
- Comfort influencing executive stakeholders while coaching operational teams
- Strong technical fluency with the judgement to apply it selectively
- Experience working across complex stakeholder environments and ambiguous problem spaces
