People leadership is really what gets you out of bed in the morning.
You want to have a say in shaping a global company's strategy for Security Automation and Orchestration. You enjoy the responsibility of owning the roadmap, making decisions on new technology and driving delivery.
In this role, you take full accountability for mission-critical tools, used to identify, detect and respond to advanced cyber threats.
This is a technical leadership role. You'll work closely with the Engineers, understand what they are doing, and how they are doing it, and can guide them.
The team needs leadership. They are excellent engineers but aren't delivering as well as they should be. They complete one task and move on to another but there's no one tying it into a bigger picture.
You'll work with the SOC Analysts to understand their views on the tool, and what can be done to make the SOAR platform more user-friendly. Within this tool, the front end is all customizable and you can build into it either through 1. build no-code solution (drag-and-drop interfaces), 2. write Python scripting in the tool itself.
People leadership is the most important skill for this role, if you don't have specific SOAR experience that's ok. But if you come from a Systems, integration, CI/CD pipelines, and Scripting background then let's talk.
Don't worry you won't just focus on SOAR forever. That's where the work is initially but he wants the team to become more T-Shaped and work across the rest of the tools Splunk, Exabeam, etc
The future pathway of this role is to take responsibility for the rest of the security engineering team globally and own all the tools.
