Cybersecurity Threat Detection & Automation Manager

The Cybersecurity Threat Detection & Automation Manager will lead a team responsible for designing, developing, automating, tuning, and continuously improving advanced threat detection and response capabilities across enterprise, cloud, identity, endpoint, email, network, SaaS, and manufacturing/OT environments.

This is a hands-on player/coach leadership role. The successful candidate will not only manage, mentor, and set direction for a team of detection engineering and automation professionals, but will also remain deeply involved in technical delivery. This includes reviewing detection logic, shaping automation workflows, validating use cases, improving alert fidelity, and ensuring the program produces measurable security outcomes.

The role is critical to reducing attacker dwell time, improving investigation quality, scaling response through automation, and strengthening the organization’s overall SecOps maturity through SIEM, SOAR, detection lifecycle governance, and engineering discipline.

The ideal candidate combines deep detection engineering expertise, automation experience, incident response knowledge, strong leadership ability, and the program management discipline needed to build scalable cybersecurity capabilities in a complex enterprise environment.
