## 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.

- 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
