The Opportunity: Manager, Security Operations
We are seeking a dynamic and technically astute Manager, Security Operations to lead the charge in safeguarding Rula's critical data and systems. In this pivotal role, you will define and refine how we detect, investigate, respond to, and learn from security incidents. This isn't just a management position; you'll be a hands-on leader, coaching a team of skilled engineers while diving deep into detection engineering, alert tuning, incident response, runbook development, operations, and security automation.
You will be instrumental in managing relationships with key security operations vendors and collaborating extensively across Security, Engineering, IT, Compliance, Privacy, and external partners. Your work will directly enhance Rula's ability to protect sensitive patient and provider data. We're looking for a leader with agency and support to build practical, impactful security operations within a high-trust environment where clear communication, sound judgment, and measurable outcomes drive our success, not titles or jargon.
What You'll Bring: Required Qualifications
5+ years of professional experience in security operations, detection engineering, incident response, threat hunting, cloud security, or a related security engineering role.
2+ years of direct people management experience leading security engineers, incident responders, analysts, or a security operations / detection and response team.
Hands-on proficiency in building, tuning, and operating detections within a modern SIEM, and managing a SOAR tool (or comparable security operations solutions).
Demonstrated expertise in leading or significantly contributing to incident response efforts, including triage, containment, stakeholder communication, and post-incident improvements.
Working knowledge of cloud service provider and SaaS security telemetry, identity logs, endpoint security signals, and common attacker behaviors.
Even Better If You Have: Preferred Qualifications
While having the preferred qualifications enhances your candidacy, having all of them is not mandatory. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, even those who may not meet every preferred requirement.
Experience in healthcare or another regulated environment where incident response, privacy, and compliance requirements intersect.
Experience owning an MDR provider relationship, including defining escalation quality expectations, running vendor reviews, and improving vendor-to-internal handoff workflows.
Experience applying MITRE ATT&CK, threat hunting methodologies, or detection engineering frameworks to prioritize and address coverage gaps.
Proficiency in querying and analyzing security data using SQL, Python, or similar tools; familiarity with security data lakes, OCSF, Athena, Trino, Panther, or comparable platforms is a plus.
Experience building or improving security on-call rotations, shared escalation models, incident command structures, tabletop exercises, or post-incident review practices.
Relevant security certifications such as OSCP, GCIH, GCIA, GCFA, or GSOC.
