About the role

  • Independently conduct comprehensive security investigations from initial detection to resolution, including cases involving insiders, external actors, and supply chain and third-party risks.
  • Lead proactive, data-driven threat-hunting efforts that weave together disparate signals to surface undetected insider or external threats before they escalate into incidents.
  • Perform comprehensive technical analysis of complex hardware, software, and supplier supply chains to identify, enumerate, and mitigate risks.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams, including Human Resources, Legal, Security, and IT, and external stakeholders or law enforcement when necessary.
  • Collaborate with technical counterparts to enhance detections, resolve telemetry gaps, and implement new capabilities to identify security issues involving cyber, physical, and human domains.
  • Collect, preserve, and analyze evidence from a variety of sources, including log data, digital forensics, subject interviews, access records, threat intelligence, and open-source intelligence (OSINT), to support investigative findings.
  • Continuously improve investigative procedures and security controls based on investigations and lessons learned.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, Cybersecurity, or a related field (or equivalent experience) and 8+ years of investigative experience in counterintelligence, insider risk, forensic investigations, cybersecurity, supply chain security, or related domains.

  • An active US security clearance, or willingness and eligibility to obtain one.
  • Deep specialization in geopolitical threat domains, with hands-on experience identifying, assessing, and mitigating adversarial risks through tailored countermeasures.
  • Expert knowledge of common security tooling, including EDR, DLP, UEBA, SIEM, SOAR and other related platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently write complex queries, automate data workflows, and analyze structured datasets.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to distill complex findings into clear, actionable reports and explain technical issues to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Exceptional collaboration skills with the ability to work across diverse teams (HR, Legal, IT, etc.) to lead projects and investigations with minimal guidance.
