Cybersecurity Consultant

Description

The threat management team is made up of cybersecurity specialists who prevent attacks by detecting and responding to threats. Their core areas are incident response, threat hunting, threat intelligence, security monitoring, vulnerability management, engineering and consulting.

The manager has over 10 years of experience running managed security services, building and operating security operations centres, and working in threat hunting, threat intelligence and vulnerability management. They also lead teams, manage projects, design services, build training plans and coach staff. Outside work they teach a university course on surveillance systems and forensic analysis.

This is a newly formed threat detection and response delivery team in a growing practice. The role carries real ownership and visibility with senior security stakeholders, and strong delivery and business growth can lead to a Senior Manager or Director role. It is a technical leadership role, not a pure project management one.

• Mentor senior associates in both their technical and professional growth.
• Drive business development through presales, proposals, pricing, estimation and resource planning.
• Define and scale service offerings, delivery frameworks, reusable assets and cross-practice collaboration.
• Client delivery makes up about 35% of the role, technical contribution about 30%, and business development, mentoring and service development about 35%.

Requirements

• 6 to 10+ years of cybersecurity experience, including at least 2 years in consulting, professional services or a role with client responsibility.
• Hands-on experience in at least two of these areas: SIEM (preferably Splunk), threat hunting, incident response and detection engineering.
