Job Description & Summary
Threat Management team consists of cybersecurity professionals focused on prevention of the cyberattacks via detection and responding to cyber threats. The key pillars consist of incident response, threat hunting, threat intelligence, security monitoring, vulnerability management, engineering and consulting services.
Lubomír has over 10 years of cyber security experience with different projects related to mainly cyber security managed services, building and operating Security Operation Centers (SOC), Threat Hunting & Intelligence and Vulnerability Management. Lubomír is also responsible for team leading, project management, designing of cyber security managed services, creation and development of training plans and is a proven coach to train other team members or client staff. Outside of work, he is involved in teaching, science, and research at the University of Hradec Králové, where he guarantees and teaches the course Surveillance Systems and Forensic Analysis.
As a manager, you will lead the newly established TDR delivery team. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the team delivers high-quality technical services that significantly impact the client's security posture. You will be the main contact for clients, a mentor for Senior Associates, and a key player in developing service offerings and business development. However, you’re expected to still “get your hands dirty” – this isn’t a pure project manager role, but a technical delivery leader.
Delivery Leadership & Client Relationship (~35% of Time)
Lead client engagements from scoping through delivery to closure.
Serve as the main point of contact for the client, communicating with security leadership and management.
Conduct workshops at executive and technical levels.
Manage scope, priorities, escalations, and client expectations.
Take ownership of the quality of deliverables (assessment reports, roadmaps, solution proposals).
Present outputs at the C-level/CISO level.
Technical Contribution (~30% of Time)
Engage in hands-on work in at least two areas: SIEM (Splunk/Sentinel), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.
Conduct technical reviews of team outputs to ensure quality and consistency.
Provide architectural advice in detection & response areas (SIEM architecture, log management strategies, use case framework).
Actively monitor the threat landscape and its implications for clients.
Ability to jump into technical work when needed – you are not just a "people manager."
Business Development, Mentoring & Service Development (~35% of Time)
Lead and mentor 2 Senior Associates in their technical and professional growth.
Actively support business development by identifying opportunities, presales presentations, and preparing proposals.
Define and develop service offerings - decide what we sell, how we deliver it, and how we scale it.
Collaborate with other practice areas (e.g., GRC, Cloud Security, Identity) on cross-sell opportunities.
Conduct labor estimation, pricing, and resource planning.
Build internal knowledge base, reusable assets, and delivery frameworks.
What This Role Is NOT:
⚠️ To avoid misunderstandings:
This is NOT purely a managerial role. We expect you to contribute technically 30% of the time.
This is NOT a pure project manager role. You need to understand content, not just the process.
This is NOT a strategic advisory role without delivery responsibility. You deliver, not just advise.
This is NOT a role with a large team of 10+ people. You lead a small, senior team – you need to be a "playing coach."
This is NOT a "slide factory." We do real work with real impact.
6–10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including at least 2 years in consulting/professional services or a role with client responsibility.
Practical hands-on experience in at least two areas: SIEM (preferably Splunk), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.
Proven experience in leading projects/work packages/delivery streams.
Ability to communicate with security leadership and management—not just technically, but in business terms as well.
Experience in mentoring junior/mid-level team members.
Proficient in English at a working level (C1); Czech is an advantage.
Ability to structure complex problems and propose pragmatic solutions.
Experience in preparing proposals, labor estimation, and scope definition.
Nice to have
Experience in building or significantly developing a security team/practice.
Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, cloud security (Azure/AWS) at an architectural level.
Experience with SOAR implementation or automation of detection & response processes.
Certifications: GIAC (GCIH, GCIA, GCDA), CISSP, CISM, Splunk certifications.
Experience with MITRE ATT&CK, threat modeling, or red/purple teaming concepts.
Previous work in Big4, boutique cyber consultancy, or MSSP.
Opportunity to build the TDR practice from the ground up – real ownership and impact.
Development of leadership skills in an environment where you make a difference.
Direct contact with senior security stakeholders at clients.
Path to a Senior Manager/Director role upon demonstrating business growth and delivery excellence.
Ability to shape market positioning and service portfolio in a growing area.
Concentrated experience and rapid career growth. It may sound like a platitude, but it really is.
Flexible working hours.
Fair salary plus paid overtime and annual bonus.
Paid time off 20 + 5 days, 3 wellbeing days and 2 extra days off from the company at the end of the year.
High-end Ultrabook and iPhone with unlimited data.
