Job description

Lead the strategy, execution, and maturity of AMD’s Threat Intelligence program across tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence functions.

Define and maintain the program roadmap, operating model, priorities, and service catalog for intelligence support across Cyber Defense.

Evolve the program from primarily feed-driven intelligence into an intelligence function that produces high-value internal insights, directly supports investigations, and informs proactive defense decisions.

Establish clear program objectives, success criteria, and measurable outcomes tied to security operations and business risk reduction.

Drive continuous improvement in intelligence collection, analysis, production, dissemination, and feedback loops.

Intelligence Operations and Analysis

Oversee the identification, analysis, and communication of relevant adversary activity, campaigns, malware trends, geopolitical developments, and industry-specific threats that may impact AMD.

Ensure the team produces timely and actionable intelligence products for technical teams, leadership stakeholders, and cross-functional partners.

Direct intelligence support for incident response, major investigations, and emerging threat scenarios by translating external and internal indicators into operationally useful context.

Lead the prioritization of threat activity based on business relevance, internal asset exposure, adversary capability, and likelihood of exploitation.

Develop and refine intelligence requirements aligned to AMD’s threat profile, crown-jewel assets, and strategic priorities.

Expand AMD’s internal intelligence generation capabilities by improving the team’s use of internal telemetry, investigative findings, incident trends, vulnerability data, and business context.

Strengthen the team’s ability to correlate internal events with external threat reporting to produce higher-confidence assessments and better defensive recommendations.

Partner with SOC, Incident Response, Detection Engineering, Insider Threat, and Vulnerability Management to convert operational findings into durable intelligence outputs.

Drive the development of intelligence-led hypotheses, adversary tracking, and risk assessments grounded in AMD’s real environment rather than generic external reporting.

Operational Integration Across Cyber Defense

Ensure threat intelligence is deeply integrated into the SOC, detection engineering, incident response, phishing analysis, insider threat investigations, and vulnerability prioritization workflows.

Partner with SOC leadership to improve the operational relevance of intelligence, including support for alert tuning, use case development, threat-informed hunting, and detection prioritization.

Collaborate with Vulnerability Management to align threat intelligence with exploitability, active threat activity, and asset criticality in order to improve remediation prioritization.

Support Insider Threat and sensitive investigations by providing adversary context, investigative enrichment, and analytical support as needed.

Build repeatable workflows that ensure intelligence is not produced in isolation, but operationalized into defensive action.

Tooling, Automation, and Platform Maturity

Own and mature the threat intelligence tooling ecosystem, including the effective deployment, tuning, and operationalization of platforms such as TIPs, external intelligence providers, and intelligence-sharing capabilities.

Lead the implementation and operational maturity of MISP or equivalent intelligence-sharing and management capabilities, ensuring the platform is used effectively and supports the broader cyber defense mission.

Evaluate and optimize vendor intelligence sources to improve relevance, signal-to-noise ratio, and measurable analyst value.

Partner with automation and engineering teams to improve enrichment pipelines, indicator handling, intelligence dissemination, and workflow automation.

Reduce manual and low-value effort through better integration of tools, data sources, and intelligence processes.

Stakeholder Engagement and Executive Communication

Serve as the primary leader for communicating threat intelligence priorities, risk implications, and key findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Provide concise, high-quality intelligence briefings to Cyber Defense leadership and executive stakeholders, including risk-based updates on significant adversary activity and emerging issues.

Build trusted relationships across legal, privacy, engineering, infrastructure, product security, and business leadership to ensure intelligence supports enterprise decision-making.

Produce leadership-ready metrics and reporting that clearly demonstrate the effectiveness, relevance, and impact of the Threat Intelligence program.

Translate complex threat activity into clear business implications, recommended actions, and operational priorities.

Team Leadership and Development

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of threat intelligence analysts and specialists, building a high-performing organization with strong analytical rigor and operational credibility.

Set high standards for analytical tradecraft, prioritization, product quality, collaboration, and follow-through.

Develop analyst capability across tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence disciplines, including internal intelligence generation and adversary analysis.

Establish accountability for measurable outcomes, not just intelligence production volume.

Foster a culture of partnership, curiosity, urgency, and operational relevance across the team.

Metrics, Governance, and Program Effectiveness

Define and track KPIs and KRIs that measure intelligence program effectiveness, operational impact, stakeholder satisfaction, and alignment to business risk.

Improve the team’s efficacy rates by establishing clearer performance expectations around timeliness, actionability, relevance, and downstream operational value.

Implement governance around intelligence requirements, product standards, dissemination models, and feedback collection.

Regularly assess program gaps, process efficiencies, and capability shortfalls, then drive corrective action.

Ensure the Threat Intelligence program can demonstrate defensible value to leadership through metrics, case studies, and measurable operational outcomes.
