About the role

Threat Detection & Response (TD&R) is the operational core of the Huntress customer value proposition. This business unit spans our Security Operations Center (SOC) / Security Analysis, Security Triage, Tactical Response, Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting (DE&TH), and Adversary Tactics teams. As the executive leader for this entire ecosystem, you will give the team a clear multi-year direction, strategy, and vision. You are not here to inherit a pre-made plan or just manage daily execution.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience leading modern security operations, threat detection and response, incident response, threat hunting, or closely related cybersecurity functions
  • 5+ years of experience leading through other managers and directors across a multi-functional business unit, not just managing a single execution workflow
  • Proven success in creating and executing a strategic plan for a major security function with full accountability for organizational design and resource decisions
  • Strong business judgment and an intellectual honesty that connects security metrics to customer retention, margin, and company growth
  • A clear, technical point of view on where automation scales security operations and where human judgment must remain primary
  • Demonstrated ability to build leadership depth, cultivate a healthy and accountable team culture, and communicate complex technical risks in plain language to board members and execu tive teams
More about this role

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.
