You will orchestrate evidence-driven proactive engagements, setting objectives and leading workstreams across enterprise on-premises and cloud environments. Your daily responsibilities include designing readiness assessments, tabletop exercises, cyber range simulations, playbook development, and threat modeling. You must translate technical findings into executive-ready recommendations and lead workshops to align stakeholders on practical response improvements. Required skills include experience in incident management, crisis management, and vulnerability research. You will apply frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and ISO 27001 to solve technical and operational risk problems. Expertise in hybrid cloud security, identity, endpoint, and network recovery dependencies is essential.

What you'll do

  • Set resilience engagement objectives, customer outcomes, and evidence requirements for enterprise on-premises and cloud environments.
  • Design and deliver readiness assessments, tabletop exercises, cyber range simulations, and threat modeling engagements.
  • Translate technical and operational findings into clear risk reduction actions and executive-ready recommendations.
  • Lead workshops to assess incident response plans, escalation paths, communication models, and recovery dependencies.
  • Align technical and operational teams with executives on practical response improvements and business continuity.
  • Use customer feedback and lessons learned to improve resilience offerings and engagement methods.
  • Maintain comprehensive engagement documentation covering objectives, risks, dependencies, and final reporting.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate in a related field and 3+ years of experience, Master's and 6+ years, or Bachelor's and 8+ years of experience.
  • Experience in software development lifecycle, large-scale computing, threat analysis, cybersecurity, vulnerability research, or anomaly detection.
  • Experience in incident response, incident management, crisis management, resilience, security operations, or enterprise risk reduction.
  • Demonstrated experience planning, coordinating, and delivering business resilience exercises like tabletops, workshops, and readiness assessments.
  • Experience reviewing and developing technical and operational programs including business continuity, crisis management, and incident response.
  • Experience applying cybersecurity or resilience frameworks such as NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, or ISO 27001 in customer-facing work.
  • Cloud security experience in hybrid environments with understanding of identity, endpoint, network, and recovery dependencies.
  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, DRI, GIAC, or equivalent practical expertise (preferred).
