Experience managing MDR/MSSP and/or IR retainer relationships. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Security, or equivalent experience. Technical aptitude across modern cloud and detection stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, SIEM query languages, detection-as-code, Terraform). Strong leadership through influence, communication skills, ownership mindset, and creative problem-solving abilities.
