Full description
Cyber Threat Intelligence & Hunt Manager
Hunt the threats others miss. Shape the intelligence that drives cyber defence.
For experienced cyber security professionals, opportunities to build and mature enterprise-wide Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting capabilities don't come along often.
We're seeking a Cyber Threat Intelligence & Hunt Manager to lead proactive cyber defence across a complex environment. This role sits at the intersection of threat intelligence, advanced threat hunting, incident response, executive risk management and cyber strategy.
Reporting to the Head of IT Security Operations, you'll help ensure the organisation stays ahead of evolving adversaries rather than simply reacting to incidents.
The Opportunity
This is not a SOC Manager role.
This is an opportunity to establish intelligence-led security operations, drive hunting programs focused on advanced threats, and influence cyber risk decisions at the highest levels of the organisation.
You will work closely with Detection & Response, Offensive Security, and Critical Control teams to translate intelligence into measurable security outcomes. You'll also engage with government agencies, industry intelligence partners and executive stakeholders to strengthen the organisation's overall cyber resilience.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Leading and maturing the Cyber Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting functions.
- Identifying emerging threats, adversary TTPs and attack trends relevant to the organisation.
- Conducting advanced threat assessments and threat modelling activities.
- Driving proactive threat hunting initiatives across enterprise environments.
- Translating intelligence findings into improved detections, controls and remediation activities.
- Supporting cyber incident response activities during significant security events.
- Delivering threat landscape briefings and risk-based reporting to senior leadership.
- Building strong relationships with government agencies and industry intelligence partners.

- Cyber Threat Intelligence
