This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Cybersecurity SecOps Consultant based in the United States.
We are seeking an experienced Cybersecurity SecOps Consultant who combines strong hands-on cybersecurity expertise with strategic consulting and technical delivery leadership. In this role, you will advise cybersecurity leaders, translate complex security challenges into actionable initiatives, and drive cross-functional projects from planning through implementation and adoption. You will work across security operations, engineering, SIEM and security-data platforms, incident response, automation, and emerging security technologies. Acting as a trusted advisor to both technical teams and business stakeholders, you will help define priorities, assess solutions, manage risks, and deliver measurable security improvements. This opportunity is ideal for a cybersecurity professional who thrives in complex enterprise environments, enjoys solving ambiguous challenges, and can connect technical execution with broader business objectives.
Advise cybersecurity leaders on Security Operations (SecOps) strategy, operational priorities, technology initiatives, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
Translate broad cybersecurity objectives into structured project scopes, technical requirements, workstreams, milestones, dependencies, risk assessments, ownership models, and implementation roadmaps.
Lead cross-functional cybersecurity initiatives, coordinating security operations, engineering, application and infrastructure teams, external vendors, and business stakeholders.
Facilitate technical workshops, stakeholder discussions, and working sessions while resolving dependencies, driving decisions, and maintaining delivery discipline through tools such as Jira and Confluence.
Provide technical and advisory leadership across security engineering, SIEM and security-data platforms, incident response, AI defense, platform migrations, data onboarding and routing, integrations, detection use cases, security analytics, SOAR, workflow orchestration, and automation.
Evaluate cybersecurity technologies and technical approaches, challenge assumptions, identify operational gaps, and recommend practical solutions for technology selection, deployment, configuration, integration, and ongoing support.
Define and communicate cybersecurity performance, risks, and delivery outcomes through metrics, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), dashboards, status reports, decision documentation, and executive-level presentations.
Bridge the gap between technical teams and business leadership, ensuring cybersecurity initiatives remain aligned with organizational priorities and deliver measurable results.
At least 7 years of relevant cybersecurity experience, including substantial hands-on experience in Security Operations, security engineering, cybersecurity architecture, technical implementation, or consulting.
Direct experience with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR), and security-data platforms, particularly Splunk and/or Cribl. Experience with data pipelines, data onboarding, integrations, platform migrations, and detection use-case development is highly valued.
Strong understanding of modern cybersecurity operations, including security monitoring and detection, incident response, security engineering, security-data management, integrations, and operational workflows. Familiarity with SIEM concepts such as data collection, normalization, routing, alerting, investigation, and reporting is essential.
Demonstrated experience leading technical cybersecurity projects or workstreams and independently turning complex or ambiguous objectives into actionable plans, requirements, milestones, dependencies, risk assessments, recommendations, and measurable outcomes.
Strong consulting, stakeholder management, and leadership capabilities, including discovery, requirements gathering, workshop facilitation, problem-solving, documentation, and effective communication with both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
Experience working with enterprise cybersecurity technologies and integrations such as Splunk, Cribl, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, ServiceNow, SOAR platforms, endpoint security solutions, Jira, and Confluence.
Understanding of cybersecurity governance, risk management, and industry frameworks, particularly the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NIST SP 800-53.
Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, navigate ambiguity, and influence stakeholders across different levels of an organization.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with ServiceNow Security Operations and/or Configuration Management Database (CMDB), particularly in environments where security operations rely on asset, configuration, vulnerability, incident, and other security-related data.
Experience supporting regulated industries, critical infrastructure, or highly controlled cybersecurity environments.
Background in developing executive security metrics, Key Risk Indicators, dashboards, security architectures, operating models, or engineering support models.
Relevant cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CompTIA Security+, GIAC, or vendor-specific security and SIEM certifications.
PMP, Agile, Scrum, or similar project delivery certifications are advantageous, although demonstrated cybersecurity consulting and delivery leadership take priority.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to support eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses.
Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance.
Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage, with options to purchase additional coverage.
Paid Time Off (PTO) and personal leave.
Paid holidays.
401(k) retirement savings plan with company matching contributions.
A work environment that promotes work-life balance, professional development, teamwork, and continuous learning.
Opportunities to contribute to complex cybersecurity initiatives and work with innovative technologies across diverse enterprise environments.
