Summary

Emerging Threats Process Lead

• Maintain consistent documentation, governance, evidence, and records-management standards across the three functions.
• Manage the documentation lifecycle, including ownership, review, approval, version control, periodic review, and retirement.
• Maintain operational documentation, including assessment and hunt plans, exercise records, approvals, evidence, findings, remediation records, and final reports.
• Ensure key activities, decisions, approvals, escalations, and outcomes are appropriately documented and supported by evidence.
• Maintain organized records within approved repositories to support traceability and efficient retrieval.
• Coordinate responses to audit, risk, compliance, control assurance, and regulatory evidence requests.
• Identify process, documentation, governance, and evidence gaps and coordinate remediation with the appropriate functional owners.
• Support governance reporting, including KRIs, KPIs, operational metrics, and management reporting.
• Maintain audit readiness across Emerging Threats through complete, current, accessible, and traceable documentation and evidence.

What we value:

These skills will help you succeed in this role:

• Strong experience developing and maintaining procedures, SOPs, process documentation, and governance materials.
• Strong technical and business writing skills, with the ability to translate cybersecurity activities into clear and structured documentation.
• Experience with document governance, version control, approvals, periodic reviews, and records management.
• Strong attention to detail and experience maintaining complete and traceable evidence.
• Experience supporting audit, regulatory, risk, compliance, or control-assurance activities.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with the ability to identify documentation and process gaps.
• Ability to work effectively with cybersecurity leadership, technical teams, risk, compliance, and audit stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of Red Team, Purple Team, Threat Hunt, or related cybersecurity disciplines.
• Experience working in a regulated or highly controlled environment.
