Job Description

I’m working with the global CISO of a world leading Hedge Fund in New York looking for an experienced cyber security professional to take on a “player-coach” role with a roughly 70/30 split between leadership and hands on technical work to build out and take full ownership of the company’s detection and response functions. Naturally, within a hedge fund, the technical environment is complex and heavily customised. Therefore, suitable candidates will have plenty of experience in global, complex and fast environments that are constantly changing. This role stands out to me as you’ll be trusted to lead when it matters most and your impact will be measured by stronger detection, faster response, and a more resilient security posture.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead incident response, threat hunting, detection engineering, and forensics across the organisation
  • Build and advance internal monitoring and auditing frameworks
  • Develop and execute a vision for where our SecOps program goes next
  • Act as a senior escalation point during incidents, communicating clearly with leadership and stakeholders
  • Drive pragmatic adoption of AI-enabled approaches in detection/response (build vs buy, risks and controls)

Requirements

  • Demonstrated leadership in high-severity incidents with strong judgement and crisp communication
  • Technical depth in threat hunting, detection engineering, incident response, forensics, and threat intelligence
  • Experience building or running monitoring/detection programs (and improving signal quality over time)
  • Comfortable partnering with compliance and governance while maintaining operational effectiveness
  • Thoughtful, practical approach to AI in security operations (not buzzword-led
  • not AI-averse)
