  • Compile and analyze phishing metrics (click rate, reporting rate, credential capture)
  • Assist in preparing reports and materials for leadership review

General Security Operations Support
  • Assist investigations by gathering logs, artifacts, and supporting data
  • Conduct research on emerging threats and vulnerabilities as assigned
  • Support security awareness initiatives and onboarding logistics
  • Contribute to detection engineering improvements by identifying gaps in telemetry

What You'll Need:

  • Foundational understanding of:
    • Threat detection and incident response
    • Access management and least privilege principles
    • Endpoint security and data protection
    • Network fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S)
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow SOPs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across teams

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Exposure to SIEM platforms (e.g., Rapid7, Splunk)
  • Exposure to EDR solutions (e.g., CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender)
  • Familiarity with Microsoft 365 security tooling
  • Experience or exposure to AWS or Azure environments
  • Entry-level security certifications (Security+, CySA+, ISC2 CC, or similar)

What You'll Get:

  • To be part of the Heart & SOUL of a winning company with an inspiring mission
