About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and execute the multi‑year Cyber Threat Center strategy and global follow‑the‑sun model, including org design, talent plan, and partner ecosystem.
Oversee monitoring, triage, investigation, and response; act as executive incident commander for material events with strong crisis communications.
Govern a detection-as-code program (CI/CD, testing, version control), map coverage to MITRE ATT&CK, and maintain a detection registry.
Drive SOAR and custom automations for enrichment and response; increase automation coverage and reduce MTTD/MTTR and analyst toil.
Set PIRs, run collection and analysis, deliver actionable intel products, and convert TTPs into detections; collaborate with ISACs and law enforcement.
Lead threat-based VM across infrastructure, cloud/containers/K8s, and SaaS; enforce remediation SLAs and deliver unified exposure views.
Define OKRs/KPIs (e.g., MTTD/MTTR, detection coverage, exposure reduction) and communicate outcomes, risks, and trends to senior leadership and the Board.
Maintain IR plans, playbooks, and crisis processes; run tabletop/purple-team exercises; oversee DFIR, malware analysis, and evidence handling.
Influence roadmaps (zero trust, logging/telemetry standards) and align controls with frameworks/regulations (NIST/ISO/PCI/GDPR, etc.). Understand risks to AI and the detection and response lifecycle related to AI threats.
Rationalize tooling for capability and cost efficiency; manage contracts, outcomes-based engagements, third-party integration, and M&A onboarding.
Recruit, develop, and mentor global leaders; drive efficiency, continuous learning, and clear planning.
