Salary: £65,000 - 105,000 per year

Requirements:

• Broad working knowledge across security operations, detection and response, offensive security, AI and threat intelligence, with substantial practical depth in at least one area.
• Experience in security solutions engineering, technical presales, security consulting, or a practitioner role involving substantial customer engagement.
• Strong understanding of detection and response environments, including SOCs, SIEM, EDR, XDR, MDR and incident response.
• Working knowledge of red teaming, black teaming, adversary emulation, threat-led testing and modern tradecraft.
• Practical understanding of AI and security, including AI-assisted investigation, automation, risks and operational limitations.
• Knowledge of threat intelligence and how to translate it into discovery questions and evaluation scenarios.
• Ability to move between detailed technical discussion and clear explanation of business value.
• Practical confidence with demonstrations, lab environments and technical troubleshooting.
• Strong discovery, presentation and technical writing skills.
• Commercial judgement and intellectual curiosity, with the discipline to keep knowledge current.
• Honest technical judgement and the ability to know when to test further or involve a specialist.
• Relevant certifications, research, lab work and community contributions are welcome.

Responsibilities:

• Support discovery with CISOs, security architects, SOC leaders, detection engineers and offensive security teams.
• Understand customer threat exposure, security architecture, operational maturity and desired outcomes.
• Identify gaps in customer telemetry, tooling, people and response processes that we can credibly address.
• Translate customer needs into solution recommendations, technical scope and measurable evaluation criteria.
• Establish technical fit, dependencies and limitations early to give customers and sales colleagues a realistic view of what is achievable.
• Develop detailed knowledge of HAPTAI and ACE, including use cases, technical requirements, deployment considerations and limitations.
• Explain where each offering applies, how they relate, and when a combined approach is appropriate.
• Build customer-specific demonstrations and technical narratives that connect product capabilities with operational needs.
• Validate claims about interoperability, integrations and expected outcomes with product and delivery specialists.
• Feed customer requirements, objections and evaluation findings into product development and positioning.
• Support the design and delivery of demonstrations, workshops and proofs of value grounded in realistic customer scenarios.
• Agree success criteria before evaluations begin, including the evidence needed to demonstrate technical and operational value.
• Explain findings clearly, distinguishing demonstrated results from assumptions and capabilities requiring further validation.
• Own technical objections and competitive discussions with accuracy, confidence and sound judgement.
• Develop reusable demonstration assets, technical explanations and reference scenarios that strengthen the sales teams capability.
• Explain the distinctions and relationships between penetration testing, red teaming, purple teaming and our black teaming approach.
• Discuss how Living off the Land and modern adversary tradecraft challenge detection, investigation and response.
• Connect threat intelligence and adversary techniques to relevant customer scenarios rather than generic attack demonstrations.
• Help customers understand how assessments or simulations can generate evidence about control effectiveness and inform practical improvements.
• Work with delivery specialists to ensure proposed engagements have clear objectives, appropriate scope and achievable outcomes.
