• Perform proactive, hypothesis‑driven threat hunting to uncover previously undetected insider risks
• Correlate technical indicators with contextual data (e.g., HR events, organizational changes, access patterns) to assess risk accurately
• Contribute to the development, tuning, and refinement of detection use cases to improve signal fidelity and reduce false positives

Investigations

• Lead medium‑ to high‑complexity insider threat investigations from initial detection through closure
• Apply defensible investigative methodologies and sound evidence‑handling practices
• Partner closely with Legal, HR, and Security to ensure investigations align with privacy, employment, and regulatory requirements
• Produce clear investigative reports and present findings to managers and senior stakeholders
• Escalate the most sensitive or high‑risk matters appropriately

Program Contribution & Capability Development

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of insider threat playbooks, procedures, and response workflows
• Identify gaps or weaknesses in detection, investigative processes, or tooling and recommend improvements
• Assist in developing metrics, case insights, and analysis that support program reporting
• Support insider threat awareness and training initiatives for employees and security partners

Collaboration & Influence

• Act as a trusted partner to Legal, HR, IT, and business stakeholders during investigations
• Translate technical findings into clear, actionable insights for non‑technical audiences
• Informally mentor junior analysts and help reinforce investigative best practices and analytical standards
