  • Own the direction and execution of board-level reporting and recurring data requests.
  • Coordinate strategic products by organizing participation, setting deadlines, and developing written cybersecurity products.
  • Deliver Salesforce Cybersecurity Organization Center-level briefings to the CISO and associated leadership.
  • Develop CSOC-wide strategies for delivering meaningful products that drive company-wide change.
  • Act as a bridge between Incident Response, Security Engineering, and Platform Defense to harden the environment.
  • Identify patterns and trends across various data sources to distill concise findings.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience with strategic intelligence writing and standard conventions like BLUF, Diamond Model, and MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Proven track record of authoring dozens of research articles and public-facing blog posts.
  • Experience writing Cyber Threat Intelligence for technical, non-technical, and executive audiences, including threat briefings and reports.
  • Capable oral and written communicator able to translate threat research into actionable recommendations for strategy and decisions.
  • Ability to operate autonomously and pull data from diverse groups in a globally distributed or remote team environment.
  • Understanding of existing and emerging threats across multiple industries and threat profiles.
  • Experience with cybersecurity reporting needs for SaaS companies (preferred).
  • Experience with cloud provider threats (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Threat Intelligence Platforms (preferred).
