Company mission
AlphaSense's mission is to organize the world’s business information and leverage technology to enable companies to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years experience in security operations, incident response, or similar roles in SaaS, cloud-native, or high-growth technology environments
- Strong experience managing MDR or outsourced SOC vendors
- Hands-on expertise with security tools such as SIEM, EDR, CSPM, SOAR, and vulnerability management platforms
- Deep understanding of incident response methodologies, root cause analysis, and containment strategies
- Solid knowledge of AWS, cloud security best practices, and modern SaaS architectures
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth, and globally distributed environment
- Relevant certifications (e.g. GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, AWS Security, CISSP) are a plus
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced Security Operations Manager to join our growing Security team. In this role, you will lead and mature our security operations capabilities, overseeing incident response, threat detection, managed detection & response (MDR) vendors, and continuous monitoring of our cloud-native environment
- You will collaborate closely with engineering, IT, legal, compliance, and business teams to protect AlphaSense's data, systems, and customers
- Manage and enhance AlphaSense's Security Operations program, including MDR oversight, detection tuning, and incident response processes
- Lead incident response investigations, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews
- Work closely with MDR providers, ensuring effective coverage, timely escalations, and continuous improvement of detections
- Develop and maintain security playbooks, runbooks, and incident management processes
- Build and tune detection rules across multiple security platforms (SIEM, EDR, CSPM, etc.)
- Collaborate with engineering and IT teams on vulnerability management, patching, and remediation efforts
- Partner with GRC to support audits, compliance requirements, and reporting
- Maintain KPIs and metrics to track security operations performance and drive continuous improvement
- Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies
Our take
Manual research can be a serious pain : financial analysts spend hours every week searching through PDFs one keyword at a time, just to find a single usable insight. To remedy this, AlphaSense has built a smart search engine that slashes research time for analysts, using thousands of sources and a semantic indexing layer that can effectively query finance-specific language.
As a disruptor and market leader in this field AlphaSense has few direct competitors, being most closely compared to Wolfram Alpha or LexisNexis. It helps that its tools are undoubtedly effective and valued by knowledge professionals: the company counts about 85% of the S&P 100 as customers and is trusted by J.P.Morgan, Microsoft, Credit Suisse and Google, among other major enterprises.
Having raised a large amount of funding over 2022 and 2023, AlphaSense has moved quickly to double down on its expansion in European markets, opening an office in Berlin to support this. With 2024 seeing investment from Singaporean EDBI, it is now setting its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. As business intelligence will remain key for enterprises as they compete for market share, AlphaSense is well-placed for additional future growth.
