Shape the service roadmap through strategy, R&D, continuous improvement, vendor relationships, and trusted client advisory work, identifying growth, innovation, and service enhancement opportunities.

This role is for you:

Strong written and verbal communication for proposals, reports, presentations and bid defence.
Deep hands-on expertise across SIEM, XDR, EDR, NDR and SOAR platforms.
Experience with Google SecOps, Cortex XDR or Microsoft Sentinel/Defender.
