  • Align exercise scope, objectives, and communications with stakeholders; manage blue team operations schedule and represent program in briefings.
  • Translate complex technical tradecraft into clear narratives for senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Drive business outcomes by translating exercise results into actionable recommendations for improving customer security operations.
  • Develop and govern defender-facing content to improve detection coverage, response effectiveness, and learning materials post-exercise.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in defensive cyber operations within enterprise or U.S. Federal settings.
  • Proven ability to design and execute proactive threat hunting and reactive incident response workflows.
  • Strong detection engineering skills, including developing and iterating on detection logic and methodologies.
  • Expertise in translating operational activity into improved security tradecraft and playbooks.
  • Experience leading after-action reports and facilitating knowledge transfer with customer teams.
