TL;DR · Cyber Security Exposure Response Lead

The Cyber Security Exposure Response Lead joins the Exposure Management function within the cybersecurity organization. This senior role involves hands-on technical investigation of newly disclosed CVEs, zero-days, KEVs, and critical exposures to mitigate business risk. You will perform threat hunting, correlate security data, and test hypotheses to identify affected assets while serving as an Incident Commander for fast-moving events. Responsibilities include coordinating remediation across cross-functional teams, providing technical coaching to analysts, and maintaining operational continuity during handoffs. Required skills include cyber incident response, threat analysis, endpoint security, and exposure management. You will solve the problem of shifting from traditional patching to a strategic focus on exploitability, managing technically ambiguous situations where the scope and impact of a vulnerability evolve during the investigation process.

What you'll do

  • Investigate newly disclosed CVEs, zero-days, and actively exploited vulnerabilities to determine enterprise impact.
  • Correlate security and technology data to identify affected assets and refine the scope of critical exposures.
  • Serve as Incident Commander to lead fast-moving exposure events and make timely decisions with incomplete information.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional technology and security teams to drive remediation and resolve operational blockers.
  • Engage SOC and Incident Response teams to provide technical context when potential or active compromises are identified.
  • Provide hands-on coaching and training to develop analysts in threat hunting, investigation, and case management.
  • Maintain detailed documentation of active events and provide structured handoffs to ensure operational continuity across shifts.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of cybersecurity or technology operations experience involving technical investigation, coordination, escalation, and resolution.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead high-priority operational events and make sound decisions with incomplete or changing information.
  • Strong hands-on technical and investigative skills to correlate data sources, test assumptions, and establish scope and impact.
  • Ability to coordinate across technical teams without direct authority to drive issues toward resolution.
  • Experience mentoring, training, or providing technical guidance to developing analysts.
  • Experience in Security Operations, Incident Response, Threat Hunting, or high-tempo technical operations (preferred).
  • Experience applying threat-hunting or incident-response investigative techniques to evolving events (preferred).
  • Experience leading significant security events, including Incident Command (preferred).
