Senior Cyber Threat Hunter

Are you driven by curiosity and motivated to stay ahead of cyber adversaries?

As a Senior Cyber Threat Hunter, you will proactively uncover advanced and hidden threats before they become incidents. You will think like an attacker, challenge assumptions, and help strengthen our client´s resilience against evolving cyber risks

The client´s team

You will join the client´s Global Threat Management (GTM) team, a central capability within the CISO domain that focuses on intelligence-driven, proactive defence. The team works across geographies and disciplines to anticipate emerging threats, investigate advanced attack scenarios, and continuously improve our client´s detection and defensive posture. Collaboration, communication, ownership, and impact are core to how our client works.

Your key responsibilities

• Proactively conduct intelligence-led threat hunting and emulation based on emerging threats, adversary activity, and major external cyber incidents.
• Develop and test hypothesis-driven investigations to identify unknown or evasive malicious activity.
• Analyse adversary behaviour across the full attack chain, identifying detection and control gaps.
• Translate hunt outcomes into actionable improvements for detection, prevention, and defensive architecture.
• Map findings to MITRE ATT&CK to clearly articulate threats, gaps, and priorities.
• Communicate investigation outcomes in clear, executive-ready reports that support risk-based decision-making.
• Leverage automation, AI-assisted analytics, and Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) to continuously validate threat hypotheses, test adversary techniques, and prioritise high-risk attack paths.

What are we looking for?

• Several years of hands-on experience in hypothesis-based threat hunting activities, purple teaming or security research.
• Experience with threat hunting methodologies, such as TaHiTi, PEAK, or others.
• Proven experience in large enterprise environments, with technologies such as CI/CD, multi-cloud and containers.
• Ability to translate threat intelligence into concrete, high-impact investigations.
• Skill in identifying and validating meaningful security gaps rather than chasing alerts or noise.
• Capacity to think and reason like an adversary while emulating attack scenarios.
• Ability to deliver investigation outcomes that improve detection, controls, or resilience.
• Clear communication of complex threats to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively in an environment with ambiguity, autonomy, and high trust.

Extra points for

• Experience or relevant certifications in cyber threat hunting, detection engineering, or adversary simulation (e.g., GIAC, MITRE ATT&CK, cloud security, or BAS-related certifications).
