Role
Who you are
- Strategic Leadership: 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with significant experience managing managers. You have led large, high-priority projects that impacted the company's direction
- Visionary Thinking: You can look past the current quarter. You understand the "Macro" of the threat landscape and can translate that into a "Micro" plan for your teams
- Business Acumen: You understand how a SOC fits into the business model. You can articulate the ROI of detection engineering and threat hunting to non-technical stakeholders and manage a department budget
- Force Multiplier: You excel at empowering others. You don't solve problems for your team; you build the structures and frameworks that allow your team to solve problems themselves while you focus on accountability and scalability
What the job involves
- Reports to: Sr. Director, Threat Detection and Response
- We are seeking a strategic leader to own the future of Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting at Huntress
- As a Director, you will manage multiple sub-teams (via Managers) and serve as a trusted advisor to the Sr. Dir of Threat Detection and Response
- Your mission is to align the DE&TH function with the broader company strategy
- As we scale, you will determine the structural, technological, and budgetary requirements needed to maintain superior detection efficacy
- You will own the relationship with the Product organization
- Ensuring that our defensive strategy evolves faster than the adversaries we protect against
- Strategy & Vision: Set the direction, strategy, and vision for the entire DE&TH function. You will define the 12-18-month prioritization for the team
- Manage a team of Managers: You will manage at least two teams or sub-teams via other managers. Your focus is on developing their leadership capabilities, enabling them to execute effectively, and holding them accountable for the health and output of their team
- Budgeting & Planning: Propose and own plans for budgeting, execution, and hiring. You will develop capacity models to ensure our team's growth aligns with our overall growth, presenting these resource needs to executive leadership
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Strategize with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, and Security. You are a key stakeholder in the company's direction, advocating for the telemetry and architectural changes required to support future detection use cases
- Systemic Problem Solving: Identify and surface patterns to leadership regarding root causes of problems. You anticipate future challenges and own the delivery of solutions before they become bottlenecks
- Culture & Standards: Exemplify and hold others accountable to the management standards of the company. You are responsible for creating a diverse, inclusive, and high-performing culture across the entire function
Our take
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats, many organizations lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves effectively. Huntress has stepped in to address this gap, delivering robust cybersecurity solutions to protect a wide range of businesses and institutions across the US business landscape.
The company offers a managed security platform, which third party resellers leverage to protect their clients from attacks. Launched in 2015, Huntress has grown well over the years, attracting plenty of investment and expanding its headcount into the hundreds.
More recently, Huntress has turned its eye to acquisitions and new product launches, as well as major international expansion. A considerable influx of funding will support these initiatives, as well as allow the company to maintain sales momentum by expanding its go-to-market efforts.
