This position requires strong technical judgment, disciplined investigation skills, and the ability to communicate confidently with both clients and internal teams.

In This Role, You Will

• Investigate escalated security alerts and suspicious activity, determine scope and impact, document findings clearly, and guide the appropriate response with internal teams and clients.
• Monitor S1's security platforms and client environments for indicators of compromise, emerging threats, and policy violations so issues are identified and contained early.
• Produce concise, well-structured incident reports that explain what happened, what was affected, what actions were taken, and what should happen next.
• Respond to client questions related to security events, audit requests, and risk concerns with professionalism, accuracy, and practical recommendations.
• Identify security gaps across client environments and internal processes, then recommend improvements that strengthen protection, reduce exposure, and support long-term maturity.
• Collaborate with service desk, project, and technical pod teams on escalations involving endpoint security, identity, email protection, DNS filtering, and access controls.
• Support vulnerability management and remediation efforts by helping prioritize findings, tracking follow-through, and verifying risk reduction across affected systems.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of S1's security operations by refining workflows, improving documentation, and helping standardize repeatable response procedures.

Experience & Skillset Requirements

• Extensive hands-on experience in a security-focused role, SOC environment, MSP environment, or a similar position involving security monitoring and incident response.
• Strong understanding of security event triage, alert analysis, incident investigation, and documentation best practices.
• Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals and security concepts, including firewalls, DNS, VLANs, routing, access controls, and practical troubleshooting methods.
• Experience with endpoint detection and response, extended detection and response, email security, DNS filtering, and Microsoft security-related technologies.
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 administration and identity security concepts, including Entra ID and Conditional Access.
• Experience with scripting and automation tools such as PowerShell, Python, or Bash to streamline investigations and operational tasks.
• Knowledge of vulnerability management, security audits, compliance frameworks, and security recommendations that can be applied in real-world client environments.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain security risks, findings, and remediation steps to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, manage priorities effectively, and stay composed when issues require urgency and attention to detail.
• Commitment to continuous learning and staying current with changing threats, security tools, and industry best practices.

Preferred Qualifications
