Lead Cyber Threat Management Analyst

Thomson Reuters•Richmond, VA

11d•$118,400 - $219,800•Hybrid

About The Position

Thomson Reuters is strengthening its Cyber Threat Management capability to help protect the organization, its products, and its customers from evolving cyber threats. The Lead Cyber Threat Management Analyst will lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of advanced threat detection capabilities across the enterprise. You will build scalable detection logic, operationalize threat intelligence, and improve the quality, speed, and effectiveness of security monitoring and response. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who enjoys understanding adversary behavior, analyzing complex security telemetry, and translating emerging threats into practical detection strategies. You will work closely with Security Operations, Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Security Engineering, and cloud teams to identify and reduce risk across a diverse technology environment. You will help shape the maturity and strategic direction of the Threat Detection program by developing high-quality detection content, improving coverage against known adversary techniques, reducing false positives, and ensuring detections remain effective as the threat landscape and enterprise environment evolve. You will also use AI-enabled security and automation tools responsibly to accelerate threat analysis, detection engineering, documentation, and triage workflows. You will apply sound technical judgment, validate outputs, and ensure that automated recommendations are appropriately reviewed before implementation or operational use.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in threat detection engineering, security operations, incident response, threat intelligence, cyber defense, or a related cybersecurity discipline.
Demonstrated experience developing, tuning, and maintaining detection logic across multiple security platforms, including SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security tools, or similar technologies.
Strong experience analyzing security logs, alerts, telemetry, and event data from endpoint, identity, network, cloud, application, and infrastructure environments.
Deep understanding of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures, with the ability to translate threat intelligence into practical detection use cases.
Strong proficiency with the MITRE ATT&CK framework, including detection mapping, coverage analysis, and the identification of defensive gaps.
Experience operationalizing threat intelligence, including indicators of compromise, behavioral indicators, and adversary tradecraft, into detection and monitoring workflows.
Experience scripting or automating security workflows using Python, PowerShell, or comparable languages.
Ability to develop and improve data enrichment, detection automation, alert triage, and investigation workflows.
Experience collaborating with Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Security Engineering, cloud, and other technical teams to improve security outcomes.
Ability to evaluate detection quality using testing, analytics, false-positive analysis, alert trends, incident findings, and coverage metrics.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical risks, findings, and recommendations to a range of technical and business stakeholders.
Demonstrated technical leadership skills, including experience mentoring team members or leading cross-functional security initiatives.

Nice To Haves

Experience with cloud platforms and security services across Azure, AWS, GCP, or hybrid environments.
Experience with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, XDR, cloud security, identity security, network security, or threat intelligence platforms.
Experience conducting threat hunting, purple-team exercises, detection validation, adversary simulation, or red-team detection analysis.
Experience designing or maintaining detection-as-code workflows, detection engineering standards, content lifecycle processes, or automated testing frameworks.
Experience integrating security data sources and developing enrichment pipelines for security analytics and investigations.
Experience improving alert quality, investigation context, escalation workflows, and analyst response consistency.
Familiarity with AI-enabled security operations, detection engineering, threat intelligence, or investigation tools.
Relevant security certifications such as GCIA, GCTI, GCED, OSCP, or comparable certifications are beneficial but not required.

Responsibilities

Architect, develop, implement, and maintain scalable threat detection logic across SIEM, EDR, cloud-native security platforms, and other enterprise security data sources.
Design and tune detection content to identify emerging threats, suspicious activity, adversary behaviors, and indicators of compromise while minimizing false positives and alert fatigue.
Map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework to assess defensive coverage, identify detection gaps, and prioritize improvements based on risk and threat relevance.
Operationalize threat intelligence, including indicators of compromise, tactics, techniques, procedures, and vendor intelligence, into actionable detection and monitoring strategies.
Collaborate with Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Security Operations, and Security Engineering teams to validate detection effectiveness and improve response workflows.
Analyze security logs, alerts, telemetry, and behavioral data from diverse sources to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential malicious activity.
Lead the development and optimization of detection workflows, enrichment pipelines, and automation that improve investigation speed, alert context, and analyst efficiency.
Use AI-enabled security tools responsibly to accelerate detection development, alert triage, threat research, documentation, and hypothesis generation, while validating outputs before relying on them operationally.
Evaluate detection performance through analytics, testing, threat simulations, incident findings, red team results, and operational metrics.
Incorporate findings from incidents, threat hunts, vulnerability intelligence, vendor updates, and adversary research into detection strategies and content improvements.
Partner with Incident Response teams to investigate detection gaps, validate alerts, improve escalation criteria, and strengthen containment and remediation workflows.
Develop and maintain clear documentation for detection logic, data sources, use cases, tuning decisions, investigation procedures, and coverage assessments.
Mentor and support junior detection engineers and analysts by providing technical guidance, feedback, and development opportunities.
Contribute to the strategic direction, operational maturity, and long-term roadmap of the Threat Detection program.
Participate in cross-functional security initiatives, design reviews, and operational-readiness discussions to ensure detection and monitoring requirements are considered early in the development lifecycle.
