Job description

Proofpoint Email Security Analyst
Contract to Hire
McKinney, TX (Hybrid)
Responsibilities
  • Monitor Proofpoint dashboards, alerts, quarantine queues, digest activity, abuse mailboxes, and user-reported phishing submissions.
  • Triage and investigate email threats including phishing, business email compromise (BEC), impersonation, malware delivery, spam, and fraudulent communications.
  • Determine risk using email artifacts such as headers, sender reputation, authentication results (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), URLs, attachments, domains, and message content.
  • Use Proofpoint search / message tracking capabilities to identify campaign scope and locate malicious messages across impacted mailboxes.
  • Execute containment actions in Proofpoint: block/deny-list malicious senders, domains, URLs, and other indicators; manage allow/deny logic where appropriate.
  • Drive remediation and takedown actions (e.g., message removal guidance, user notification, escalation to IR/SOC when needed).
  • Administer and continuously tune Proofpoint policies, detection rules, and protection controls to improve efficacy and reduce false positives.
  • Review quarantined messages and determine whether messages should be released, blocked, or escalated, documenting rationale and outcomes.
  • Maintain and refine block lists, allow lists, and exception workflows with strong change control and documentation.
  • Monitor and assist with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC posture to reduce spoofing/impersonation risk.
  • Identify misconfigurations and coordinate corrective actions with domain owners, Microsoft 365 administrators, and relevant business stakeholders.
  • Support investigations involving account compromise, suspicious mailbox rules/forwarding, unusual email access patterns, and suspicious outbound activity.
  • Coordinate with SOC, IAM, Incident Response, Microsoft 365, Legal, HR, and business leaders during sensitive investigations.
  • Document investigation steps, findings, remediation actions, recurring attack patterns, and lessons learned.
  • Create and maintain SOPs and response playbooks for Proofpoint-driven workflows (triage, quarantine review, campaign response, indicator blocking).
  • Track and report email-security metrics: message volume, blocked threats, phishing trends, user reporting rates, false positives, remediation SLAs, and emerging TTPs.
  • Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks across investigation, containment, and reporting.
  • Support email-security projects such as Proofpoint enhancements, platform upgrades, policy changes, onboarding new domains/business units, and M&A-related integration.

Required Skills
  • Demonstrated experience using Proofpoint in an operational security role (monitoring, quarantine triage, investigations, policy tuning).
  • Strong knowledge of phishing/BEC tradecraft and email analysis (headers, routing, URLs/attachments, domain reputation).
  • Working understanding of Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online concepts and email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC).
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, sound judgment, and clear communication with both technical and non-technical users.
  • Ability to document work cleanly and operate effectively in an alert-driven environment.
