By leading the collection and analysis of data on incidents and vulnerabilities, you’ll use your strong analytical skills to produce tactical, operational and strategic intelligence that security teams and organizational decision-makers can act on.

If you’re driven, enthusiastic and curious, and seeking challenges and continuous learning opportunities, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

Responsibilities

• Continuously monitor emerging threat trends and the operating methods of groups that pose a risk to Desjardins.
• Act as an operational expert to contextualize cyber threats during incidents and support the incident response process by assessing Desjardins Group’s criticality and exposure using specialized tools.
• Serve as an expert advisor to lead complex, cross-sector files that require alignment with multiple internal teams.
• Produce and share cyber threat analyses with key internal partners.
• Maintain strong relationships with internal collaborators and external sharing communities on various operational and strategic topics.
• Help manage and oversee the Cyber Threat Intelligence Team's platforms and tools.
• Help document and optimize processes related to the cyber threat intelligence practices.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and annual bonus
• 4 weeks of flexible vacation starting in the first year
• Defined benefit pension plan that provides predictable, stable income throughout retirement
• Group insurance including telemedicine
• Reimbursement of health and wellness expenses and telework equipment
• Benefits apply based on eligibility criteria.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in IT, cybersecurity or a related field
• A minimum of four years of relevant experience
• Other combinations of qualifications and relevant experience may be considered
• Experience in one or more areas, such as incident response, vulnerability management, SOC and cyber threat hunting
• Experience with open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques and basic principles of cyber threat intelligence practices (like Pyramid of Pain, Traffic Light Protocol, intelligence life cycle, STIX/TAXII, MITRE ATT&CK Framework, TTPs)
• Permit, certification, attestation, certificate - Do not confuse a certificate (diploma) with a certification
• Knowledge of French is required
• Advanced proficiency of English due to the nature of the duties or work tools or because the position involves interactions with English-speaking partners, members and/or clients
• Technical expertise with intelligence platforms and investigation tools required for the full intelligence-production lifecycle
• Proficiency in fundamental IT concepts in enterprise system architecture, networking principles and cloud computing environments
• Advanced proficiency in data processing and visualization tools (Excel, Power BI) and presentation tools (PowerPoint); scripting skills (Python, PowerShell)
• Knowledge of the cyber threat landscape, the cyber criminal ecosystem, threat actor profiles and their strategic motivations
