Performance Objectives

Security Operations, Detection & Incident Response

  • Lead the monitoring, analysis, investigation, and response of cybersecurity threats and security incidents across enterprise environments.
  • Perform advanced triage and investigation of alerts generated by SIEM, EDR, DLP, IAM, cloud security, email security, network security, and other enterprise security technologies.
  • Conduct comprehensive incident investigations, including threat validation, scope determination, timeline reconstruction, impact assessment, root cause analysis, and containment recommendations.
  • Serve as an escalation point for junior analysts and assist with complex incidents requiring advanced analytical and technical expertise.
  • Coordinate response activities across Security Operations, Infrastructure, Security Engineering, Legal, and business stakeholders.
  • Drive incidents through the complete lifecycle from detection through remediation, recovery, documentation, and lessons learned.
  • Maintain situational awareness of the evolving threat landscape, emerging risks, and active incidents affecting the organization.

Threat Hunting, Analysis & Detection Engineering

  • Perform proactive threat hunting across endpoint, identity, network, cloud, application, and emerging technology environments to identify malicious activity beyond alert-driven detection.
  • Leverage threat intelligence, behavioral analytics, telemetry correlation, and adversary tradecraft analysis to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs) and attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
  • Investigate sophisticated attack techniques including credential theft, ransomware, insider threats, business email compromise, cloud compromise, and living-off-the-land activity.
  • Design, develop, tune, validate, and maintain detection content, analytics rules, dashboards, correlation logic, and threat-driven use cases.
  • Continuously improve detection coverage through threat modeling, attack simulation findings, incident lessons learned, and intelligence-driven prioritization.
  • Utilize frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST 800-61, Cyber Kill Chain, and adversary emulation methodologies to improve detection and response effectiveness.
  • Identify gaps in telemetry, monitoring coverage, and response capabilities while recommending improvements to increase operational maturity.

Digital Forensics & Advanced Investigation

  • Support digital forensic investigations involving enterprise collaboration and communication.
  • Assist with malware triage, indicator extraction, timeline development, and root cause determination.
  • Develop investigative methodologies that improve repeatability, consistency, and overall investigative effectiveness.

Security Engineering, Automation & AI-Enabled Operations

  • Lead efforts to enhance and optimize security tools, telemetry pipelines, integrations, and monitoring capabilities.
  • Support onboarding of new data sources, cloud platforms, applications, and infrastructure services into enterprise security monitoring solutions.
  • Develop and maintain automation workflows, orchestration capabilities, and machine-driven response processes using SOAR and related technologies.
  • Leverage scripting, query languages, and security automation techniques to improve detection, investigation, reporting, and operational efficiency.
  • Utilize artificial intelligence, machine learning technologies, large language models (LLMs), agentic frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate investigations and improve analyst effectiveness.
  • Contribute to secure AI adoption by helping evaluate AI-related risks, controls, governance requirements, and monitoring capabilities.
  • Identify opportunities to increase operational efficiency through automation, AI augmentation, and process optimization.

Leadership, Mentorship & Operational Excellence

  • Act as a senior resource and mentor for junior and mid-level analysts.
  • Provide investigative guidance, technical coaching, and peer review of incident investigations and response activities.
  • Demonstrate ownership and accountability for operational outcomes while consistently contributing to team objectives and strategic initiatives.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor during major incidents and provide actionable recommendations to leadership.
  • Lead or participate in tabletop exercises, purple-team engagements, operational readiness testing, and post-incident reviews.
  • Drive continual improvement of security operations processes, playbooks, detection content, threat hunting methodologies, and incident response procedures.
  • Maintain a strong commitment to operational excellence, continuous learning, and technical leadership within the team.

Documentation & Communication

  • Produce high-quality investigation reports, executive summaries, incident briefings, and post-incident analyses.
  • Communicate technical findings, risk implications, and recommended actions to both technical and executive audiences.
