Empowered with innovative tools, continuous learning and a global community of diverse talent, we drive success in new business architecture that disrupts conventional practices. And we are looking to add an experienced Threat Informed Defense Senior Manager to an already outstanding team.

Accenture Security helps organizations prepare, protect, detect, respond to, and recover, at all points of the security lifecycle. We hire the very best security talent and arm them with the coolest tools and latest tech so they can help our clients build resilience as we create integrated, customized turnkey solutions. We blend risk strategy, digital identity, cyber defense, application security and managed service solutions to rethink the entire security lifecycle.

Passionate about security, love what you do and have a genuine desire to outsmart the bad guys. You have the experience to analyze a clients’ security posture, anticipate security requirements and help find right-sized solutions based on industry leading practices. You have a proven track record working successfully in a fast-paced, agile environment.

As the Threat Informed Defense Senior Manager, you will own the capability that turns intelligence into defensive outcomes — structuring, normalizing, and operationalizing threat data so it drives detection, hunting, and response across Accenture's managed security stacks and those of our clients.

In this role, you will define how threat actors, campaigns, TTPs, malware, infrastructure, indicators, and telemetry are structured and consumed across TIP, SIEM, SOAR, and EDR. You will assess client and program defensive capabilities, recommend improvements, and implement the architecture and standards that make intelligence machine-consumable at enterprise scale. You'll have the opportunity to structure threat intelligence programs, govern analytic and engineering tradecraft, and continuously shorten the gap between adversary action and defensive response.
