TL;DR · Threat Informed Defense Senior Manager

The Threat Informed Defense Senior Manager joins the Accenture Security team to lead the technical and engineering core of a global cyber threat intelligence program. This role involves owning the capability to transform intelligence into defensive outcomes by structuring, normalizing, and operationalizing threat data to drive detection, hunting, and response across managed security stacks. You will define how threat actors, campaigns, TTPs, malware, infrastructure, and telemetry are consumed across TIP, SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms. Key responsibilities include assessing client defensive capabilities, implementing architecture standards for machine-consumable intelligence, and governing analytic tradecraft. Required expertise includes the MITRE ATT&CK framework, YARA, Sigma, and STIX/TAXII. You will manage the threat profile to detection lifecycle, integrating telemetry from EDR, network, identity, cloud, and OT data sources.

What you'll do

  • Translate raw threat intelligence into actionable defensive outcomes across managed security stacks.
  • Structure, normalize, and operationalize threat data to drive detection, hunting, and response activities.
  • Define how TTPs, malware, infrastructure, and telemetry are consumed across TIP, SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms.
  • Develop and govern detection engineering content including YARA rules, Sigma rules, and behavioral signatures.
  • Design and implement technical architectures that make threat intelligence machine-consumable at enterprise scale.
  • Establish and govern data structures, common schemas, and normalization standards across multiple security tools.
  • Lead the development of threat hunt programs across network, identity, cloud, and OT data sources.
  • Manage and mentor a team of technical leads and managers within the cyber threat intelligence program.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in cyber threat intelligence, threat-informed defense, detection engineering, threat hunting, or security operations.
  • Minimum of 5 years leading technical teams, including second-line leadership of other team leads or managers.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience with the core security stack (TIP, SIEM, SOAR, and EDR) and operationalizing intelligence.
  • Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience with structured threat data and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience defining or governing data structures, schemas, or normalization standards across multiple tools.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent professional experience (minimum 12 years for those without a degree).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to brief executive and client stakeholders.
  • Advanced degree in computer science or cybersecurity, and certifications like GCTI, GREM, GCFA, GDAT, GCDA, or CISSP (preferred).
