  • Intuit
  • Atlanta, GA

Job Description

Overview

You will lead the organization responsible for security incident response, bringing together monitoring, detection engineering, investigations, containment/eradication, and validation of defensive capabilities. Your mission is to reduce business impact from incidents while continuously proving and improving defensive capability through measurable outcomes (for example: MTTD/MTTR improvement and validated detection coverage).


Responsibilities

Lead Incident Response & Security Operations Outcomes

  • Own the end-to-end incident lifecycle: triage, investigation, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review, including evidence handling and executive communications.

  • Run and mature monitoring, triage, and escalation processes, ensuring consistent severity classification and fast, repeatable response.

  • Partner with engineering, on-call operations, and security stakeholders to drive durable remediation and prevent recurrence (lessons learned into controls, detections, and playbooks).

  • Scale detection AI-enabled engineering and response to reduce analyst toil and shrink time-to-containment.

Defensive Capability Validation and Testing

  • Run continuous, scoped validation of defensive controls using targeted attack-surface tests and technique-level checks.

  • Oversee penetration testing management, including coverage planning, vendor governance, retesting, and cost control.

Strategy, Metrics, and Executive Reporting

  • Establish a metrics program covering MTTD, MTTR, containment speed, detection quality, ATT&CK-informed coverage, and remediation SLAs, with board-ready narratives.

  • Provide regular incident and validation readouts to executive and product leadership to support risk-based decision-making.

  • Coordinate with GRC/Legal to support breach notification obligations and provide incident evidence for audits and compliance.

Build the Team & Operating Model

  • Lead managers and senior ICs across SOC/IR, detection engineering, automation, and adversary management/validation.

  • Set on-call and incident command expectations, develop career paths, hire and retain talent, and manage budget and tooling (SIEM/SOAR/EDR, threat intel, validation platforms).


Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • 10+ years in security with significant depth in incident response and security operations, including leading major incidents as an incident commander.

  • Strong technical knowledge across cloud and enterprise environments (identity, endpoints, network, logging/telemetry, and common attacker tradecraft).

  • Proven ability to brief executives clearly during high-pressure events and drive alignment across engineering, IT, legal, and risk stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on expertise with SIEM/SOAR engineering, detection-as-code, and automation; familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and threat-informed defense measurement.

How Success Will Be Measured

  • Reduced MTTD/MTTR and fewer repeat incident classes due to durable fixes.

  • Increased validated detection/response coverage and signal quality, with faster containment.

Working Relationships

Close partnership with Cloud Operations, Product Security, Identity/Endpoint teams, and GRC/Legal for incident coordination, evidence handling, and reporting.
