The Role

We are currently seeking a Sr. Manager, Security Operations to lead our Global Security Operations team within Addepar’s Information Security & Risk organization. In this role, you will own the day-to-day running of our detection and response function, act as incident commander for security incidents, and partner with our 24/7 MSSP to ensure threats are identified and handled quickly. You will set the operational objectives and strategy for Security Operations, lead and grow a global team, and shape our detection strategy for threats specific to Addepar’s environment. Beyond the immediate response, you will make sure we learn from every incident by driving post-incident follow-through, turning incident trends into lasting fixes with partners across the business, and reporting on the health of the program to Security leadership. We also want this leader to modernize how Security Operations works, applying AI and automation (AIOps) to speed up triage, investigation and response so the team can focus on the highest-impact work. The successful candidate is a hands-on leader who brings structure, calm and accountability to high-pressure situations.

• Metrics, KPIs & Reporting: Define and track key SecOps metrics and KPIs, and present a holistic monthly view of the Security Operations function to senior leadership
