• Collaborate with external partners and industry groups (e.g., ISACs) to incorporate broader threat context into analysis.
• Mentor junior analysts by reviewing their work, sharing best practices, and helping them strengthen analytical and reporting skills.
• Manage and guide team members by setting priorities, reviewing deliverables, and fostering professional growth through mentorship and feedback
