Responsibilities

• Direct and mature a 24/7 global cyber operations model for security event monitoring, triage, incident response partnership, and threat hunting across multiple environments
• Own functional strategy, multi-year roadmap, and KPI/OKR outcomes for autonomous cyber defense and security event triage (e.g., MTTD/MTTR, false-positive reduction, containment SLAs)
• Work with the Global Head to define the vision for Autonomous Cyber Defense and Security Event Triage, and execute against that vision in alignment with the strategic design
• Oversee budget planning, vendor management, and financial governance for global cyber operations tooling, services, and staffing; optimize spend to risk reduction and service performance
• Lead, mentor, and scale high-performing global teams (employees and partners); define operating rhythms, coverage models, escalation paths, and on-call expectations
• Serve as a lead escalation contact in a 24/7 environment; guide appropriate resources to resolution
• Provide executive-level oversight for audit, risk, and regulatory engagements related to cyber operations; ensure processes, evidence, and metrics meet policy and compliance requirements
• Deliver leadership reporting on cyber operations health, emerging threats, and risk posture; translate technical findings into business impact and prioritized actions
• Drive AI/ML/LLM-enabled autonomous defense initiatives, including alert enrichment, case summarization, analyst co-pilots, automated containment, and continuous learning to improve signal-to-noise
• Establish governance for detection engineering, triage decisioning, playbooks, and automation (SOAR/EDR/SIEM) to standardize response, reduce gaps, and improve response times
• Lead critical incident triage and escalation governance; partner with incident response, infrastructure, identity, and application teams to coordinate containment and recovery
• Oversee monitoring of third-party security service providers and managed tooling to ensure coverage, quality, and alignment to enterprise standards and SLAs
• Build an operations analytics program to measure and continuously improve triage accuracy, response efficiency, backlog health, and automation effectiveness across regions and shifts
• Sponsor and execute a purple team program (red/blue collaboration) to validate detections and response through adversary emulation aligned to MITRE ATT&CK; track gaps to closure
• Oversee proactive threat hunting and continuous control validation to identify adversary behaviors, reduce dwell time, and harden critical services
• Provide global operational leadership during cyber events by coordinating communications, handoffs, and technical execution across regions, functions, and time zones
• Integrate threat intelligence, vulnerability insights, and attacker TTP research into detection logic, triage guidance, and autonomous response workflows
• Produce and govern recurring and ad-hoc reporting on threats, trends, and program performance; ensure consistent narratives and decision support for stakeholders
• Champion innovation and modernization of cyber defense tooling and techniques, including evaluation and adoption of new capabilities that measurably reduce risk
• Partner with technology, product, and business leaders to align cyber operations priorities, drive remediation ownership, and embed security-by-design practices
