As the Senior Manager, SecOps Cyber Defense at Capital Group, you lead a unified Detection Engineering and Incident Response team within the overall SecOps/Cyber Defense organization. You define and execute a multi-year strategy aligned to Global Information Security priorities, evolving threats, and business risk appetite. You ensure strong integration across detection and response by establishing shared workflows, feedback loops, and measurable outcomes that continuously improve detection coverage and response effectiveness.

You also manage budgeting and resource allocation to maximize risk reduction and ensure alignment with regulatory requirements, audit readiness, and strong governance practices.

You lead and develop high-performing, globally distributed teams—including managers and senior technical leaders—fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You provide executive oversight during major incidents, ensuring root cause analysis is completed and lessons learned are embedded into detection logic, tooling, and response processes. You stay connected to industry forums and threat intelligence communities to proactively evolve defensive strategies. Above all, you communicate cyber defense readiness and risk posture with clarity and impact, ensuring leadership has the visibility needed to make informed decisions and strengthen organizational resilience.
