State Street • Princeton, NJ

About The Position

As a member of the Emerging Threats team within Global Cyber Security, the Emerging Threats Process Lead provides process, governance, documentation, and evidence-management support across Red Team, Purple Team, and Threat Hunt Response. The role ensures processes, procedures, SOPs, operational records, and supporting evidence are clearly defined, consistently maintained, appropriately approved, and audit-ready. Working with Emerging Threats leadership and technical teams, the role establishes consistent documentation and governance practices while capturing the distinct requirements of each function. It is focused on process management, documentation, governance, evidence, and audit readiness—not hands-on offensive security, detection engineering, or threat hunting.

The role provides dedicated oversight of the framework needed to demonstrate how Red Team, Purple Team, and Threat Hunt Response activities are authorized, performed, evidenced, reviewed, and reported. It improves consistency, traceability, and audit readiness while supporting effective management and regulatory oversight.

• Strong technical and business writing skills, including the ability to translate cybersecurity activities into clear, structured documentation.
• Experience with document governance, version control, approvals, periodic reviews, and records management.
• Strong attention to detail and experience maintaining complete, traceable evidence.
• Experience supporting audit, regulatory, risk, compliance, or control-assurance activities.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, including the ability to identify documentation and process gaps.
• Ability to work effectively with cybersecurity leadership, technical teams, risk, compliance, and audit stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of Red Team, Purple Team, Threat Hunt, or related cybersecurity disciplines.
• Experience working in a regulated or highly controlled environment.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in cybersecurity, technology, risk, governance, compliance, technical writing, or a related field.
• Two to four years of experience in process management, governance, technical documentation, cybersecurity operations support, risk and control, or audit support.
• Experience developing and maintaining controlled procedures, SOPs, evidence packages, and governance documentation.
• Experience supporting internal or external audits, regulatory examinations, or control-assurance activities.
• Strong written communication skills across technical, management, risk, audit, and non-technical audiences.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with enterprise document-management platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and coordinate review and approval of processes, procedures, SOPs, templates, and supporting guidance across Red Team, Purple Team, and Threat Hunt Response.
• Maintain consistent documentation, governance, evidence, and records-management standards across the three functions.
• Manage the documentation lifecycle, including ownership, review, approval, version control, periodic review, and retirement.
• Maintain operational documentation, including assessment and hunt plans, exercise records, approvals, evidence, findings, remediation records, and final reports.
• Ensure key activities, decisions, approvals, escalations, and outcomes are documented and supported by evidence.
• Maintain organized records in approved repositories to support traceability and efficient retrieval.
• Coordinate responses to audit, risk, compliance, control-assurance, and regulatory evidence requests.
• Identify process, documentation, governance, and evidence gaps and coordinate remediation with appropriate functional owners.
• Support governance reporting, including KRIs, KPIs, operational metrics, and management reporting.
• Maintain audit readiness across Emerging Threats through complete, current, accessible, and traceable documentation and evidence.
