About the role

About the Role

Within the Cyber Defence function, we are establishing a Threat Exposure Oversight capability to strengthen how security risks are identified, measured, validated, and tracked across the organisation. The Threat Exposure Oversight Specialist operates across cyber defence domains, translating threat scenarios into measurable control and detection coverage, validating implementation through evidence, and ensuring residual risk is clearly documented and visible to leadership.

This role work cross functionally with Threat Intelligence, Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and Insider Threat stakeholders to improve clarity, accountability, and exposure transparency.

This is not a traditional monitoring role. It focuses on validation, integration, and risk clarity across technical security functions.

What you'll do here:

Cyber Threat Exposure Oversight

• Translate red team findings and threat intelligence into measurable detection and control expectations.
• Map threat techniques to telemetry sources and detection logic.
• Validate detection implementation through artifact review (rule Ids, configurations, test evidence)
• Identify and document coverage gaps.
• Maintain structured mapping from threat - control - detection - residual risk
• Support executive-level exposure reporting within Cyber Defense

Insider Threat Oversight

• Support development and refinement of insider threat monitoring strategy within Cyber Defense.
• Translate insider threat scenarios into measurable telemetry and controls expectations.
• Validate monitoring coverage for privilege misuse, data exfiltration, and anomalous access patterns.
• Partner with relevant stakeholders (Security, HR, Legal where appropriate)
• Document insider threat posture and maturity gaps.

Cross-Functional Integration

• Collaborate with Threat Intelligence, Detection Engineering, and Incident Response teams.
• Clarify ownership boundaries and decision points.
• Promote evidence-based closure discipline.
• Ensure remediation decisions are traceable and documented.

What Success Looks Like

• Threat findings are translated into measurable and validated control expectations.
• Detection coverage is confirmed through evidence, not assumption.
• Insider threat monitoring aligns with clearly defined risk scenarios.
• Residual risks are documented and visible to Cyber Defence leadership.
• Cross-team collaboration is structured and predictable

What you bring to the table:

• Minumun 3 years experience in detection engineering, threat hunting, insider threat, red team, or similar technical Cyber Defense role.
• 5+ years of experience in IT or security operations.
• Strong knowledge with SIEM, EDR, endpoint telemetry, or log-based detection environments.
• Experience working with threat modeling methodologies such as MITRE ATT&CK, STRIDE, PASTA etc..
• Ability to translate technical findings into structured risk narratives.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills.
• Comfort operating in cross-functional environments.
• Ability to challenge assumptions through calm, evidence-based discussion.
• Strong initiative: proven ability and experience leading projects and initiatives autonomously.
• For candidates located in Quebec, bilingualism is required considering the necessity to interact on a regular basis with English-speaking colleagues across the country.
• No Canadian work experience required however must be eligible to work in Canada.
