Huntress is a fully remote, global team of passionate experts and ethical badasses on a mission to break down the barriers to cybersecurity. Whether creating purpose-built security solutions, hunting down hackers, or impacting our community, our people go above and beyond to change the security game and make a real difference.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress protects all businesses—not just the 1%—with enterprise-grade, fully owned, and managed cybersecurity products at the price of an affordable SaaS application. The Huntress difference is our One Team advantage: our technology is designed with our industry-defining Security Operations Center (SOC) in mind and is never separated from our service.

We protect 4M+ endpoints and 7M+ identities worldwide, elevating underresourced IT teams with protection that works as hard as they do. As long as hackers keep hacking, Huntress keeps hunting.

What You’ll Do:

As the Senior Manager of SOC Triage, you will lead the critical "front line" of our Security Operations Center. You are responsible for a team that reviews high-volume, low-fidelity security signals to qualify potential threats for our senior Analysis team. Your mission is to maximize detection surface area while serving as a strategic leader for the SOC's primary talent incubator.

You will balance operational excellence—ensuring the "noise" is reviewed effectively—with a deep commitment to people development, preparing the next generation of security analysts for career progression.

Roles and Responsibilities:-Team Leadership & Talent Pipeline: Lead, mentor, and manage a high-performing Triage team. Develop and hold regular career conversations, facilitating an inclusive environment and acting as a steward of company culture.

• Operational Strategy: Define team priorities and set measurable goals (e.g., data reviewed, escalation quality, incidents identified. Identify and scope the team’s work in partnership with SOC leadership.

• Signal & Escalation Oversight: Oversee the "Signal Review & Qualification" function to ensure rapid, consistent decision-making based on established playbooks. Ensure qualified threats are escalated with clear, concise context to the Analysis team.

• Process Optimization: Identify patterns in "noisy" signal sources and provide feedback to detection engineering teams to tune out benign alerts. Drive the adoption of automation to improve triage efficiency and reliability.

• Strategic Prioritization: In partnership with senior leaders, set the prioritization for lower-level analysts and ensure the team's project portfolio is aligned with company growth objectives.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with the Analysis and Detection Engineering teams to ensure a seamless handoff process and minimize friction in the incident response lifecycle.

• Budget & Resource Management: Responsible for the results, budgets, and hiring strategies for the Triage function.

What You Bring To The Team:-Experience: 4+ years of progressive experience in Security Operations (SOC), threat hunting, or incident response, with at least 3+ years in a leadership/management role.

• Leadership Mastery: Proven ability to develop and mentor team members, specifically in a high-volume, entry-to-mid-level technical environment.

• Analytical Mindset: Expert-level ability to identify and surface patterns in security data and translate those insights into solutions or process improvements.

• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of the modern threat landscape, common attacker TTPs (e.g., suspicious inbox rules, persistence mechanisms), and SOC orchestration tools.

• Communication: Outstanding ability to articulate the "root cause" of problems using first principles and present technical strategy to executive leadership.

• Adaptability: A forward-thinking mindset with a passion for driving change in a cloud-first, fully remote environment.
