By analyzing threat trends, actor behavior, and technical indicators, the domain plays a vital role in safeguarding our customers and driving resilience across industries.

As a leader of this domain, you will have access to unique threat data derived from one of Europe’s leading IR teams and monitoring operations across Northern Europe. Your work will directly contribute to shaping how organizations defend against cybercrime.

• Operational specialist work: Conduct advanced threat analyses, create insightful reports, and present findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Entrepreneurship & commercial development: Develop new CTI offerings, package services, set pricing, and drive proactive business opportunities.
• Collaborate with IR & SOC teams: Provide actionable Threat Intelligence and innovate ways to utilize threat information for improved resilience.
• Represent the company: Serve as Truesec’s spokesperson in the CTI domain, delivering presentations, engaging with authorities, and sharing insights.

You are an experienced cybersecurity professional who thrives in dynamic and fast-paced environments. You have a deep understanding of Cyber Threat Intelligence and are passionate about building teams, solving complex problems, and making an impact. As a leader, you inspire trust, bring out the best in people, and know how to navigate both technical and business landscapes.

You are motivated by driving innovation and staying ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving cybersecurity domain. You are a curious learner, actively tracking new threats, methods, and trends, and you’re ready to take on one of the most strategic roles in Truesec.

Required Skills:

• Extensive experience in Cyber Threat Intelligence, including analysis methods, sources, and tools.
