  • Provide regular reporting on security operations performance and risk trends
  • Identify opportunities to improve automation, tooling, and processes
  • Lead and mentor security operations personnel
  • Partner with Infrastructure, Engineering, DevSecOps, and Technology teams to implement and improve controls
  • Support audits, regulatory assessments, and evidence requests related to security operations
  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on security operations, incident response, or SOC leadership
  • Experience managing security monitoring, SIEM, and incident response programs
