• Strategic Engagement: Engage with business leaders across the organization to influence and create the right technical solutions to address security problems and improve business processes.

• Incident Response Leadership: Investigate and handle security incidents based on event data, packet captures, reports, data visualization, and pattern analysis. You will drive security incidents to resolution.

• Threat Intelligence: Work with team members to stay current with the latest security breaches, technical attacks, and emerging threats.

• Compliance & Audits: Assist with internal technical reviews and compliance audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.).

• Mentorship: Assist with training and mentoring team members, engineers, and IT staff on security tools and best practices.

• Data Analysis: Lead the collection, analysis, and alerting of security event data from business systems.

• Proficiency with technical incident response utilities such as Wireshark, Sysinternals, Cyber Chef, OpenSSL, and command-line data parsing tools (e.g., Power Shell, Python, or Bash for log manipulation).

• Deep understanding of security operations, including cryptographic protocols (SSL/TLS), network traffic analysis, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

• 4+ years of proven experience in the Information Security industry.

• Bachelor of Science in CIS/MIS/CS/CE, Engineering/Technology, related field, or equivalent experience/training.
