• Govern and optimise our SIEM, SOAR, EDR and DLP platforms to maximise detection coverage, efficacy and value.
• Lead detection engineering and proactive, intelligence-led threat hunting mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
• Shape our security telemetry and logging strategy, prioritising log source onboarding for comprehensive coverage.
• Build security automation and orchestration that make detection and response faster, more consistent and higher quality.
• Adopt and govern AI-enabled capabilities to strengthen security operations while keeping the right guardrails in place.
• Develop, maintain and regularly test incident response playbooks, runbooks and cyber crisis and tabletop exercises.
• Manage external forensic, MDR and threat-intelligence partners, including onboarding, performance and SLA oversight.
• Define, track and report detection-and-response metrics (such as MTTD and MTTR) to drive continuous improvement.
• Mentor analysts and engineers, sharing your expertise to build a high-performing, resilient and collaborative team.
• Support audits, regulatory engagements and executive/Board reporting, and represent Singlife in industry threat-sharing communities.
