  • Own complex insider threat investigations end to end, from triage and evidence collection through employee interviews and stakeholder coordination, delivering clear findings, risk assessments, and actionable recommendations to leadership.
  • Lead detection and analysis efforts by prioritizing alert reviews across insider threat technologies (SIEM, UBA, DLP, endpoint detection), correlating signals, and identifying patterns that inform broader mitigation strategies.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Security, Legal, HR, and business teams to design, implement, and refine processes that systematically reduce insider risk and close recurring control gaps at scale.
  • Shape the team's investigative and analytical capabilities by refining alerting logic, developing scalable detection improvements, and mentoring junior analysts on tradecraft, evidence handling, and stakeholder communication.

  • Demonstrated ability to identify systemic control gaps and drive scaled improvements to insider threat detection and response processes, including refining alerting logic and recommending automation opportunities.
  • Proven experience composing investigative briefs, risk assessments, and analytical products consumed by senior leadership, with the ability to translate complex technical and behavioral findings into concise, decision-ready narratives.
