• Driving improvements in security tooling, processes, and response
• Vulnerability management tools (eg Rapid7, Microsoft Defender suite)
• Core enterprise security toolsets
• Networking, cloud infrastructure, and EUC environments

You\'ll have

• Experience as a team lead or manager (formal or informal) with direct reports or leadership responsibility
