Threat Detection Manager

Madrid, Spain | Hybrid (Candidates must be able to attend the office 2 days per week)

I am looking to speak with Cyber Threat Hunting Managers, looking for a new opportunity in Madrid.

Working closely with an external security provider and a small internal team, you will take ownership of detection effectiveness, hunting outcomes, and the continuous improvement of security monitoring capabilities across a global enterprise environment.

• Lead the threat detection and threat hunting function, providing technical leadership, strategic direction, and operational oversight
• Manage and coordinate internal resources and external security partners to deliver effective and consistent detection and hunting outcomes
• Assess detection coverage and develop, optimise, and maintain high-quality detection rules to improve visibility and reduce false positives
• Drive advanced, risk-based threat hunting activities to identify sophisticated and previously undetected threats
• Integrate findings from purple team exercises into detection engineering and hunting programmes
• Collaborate with Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability Management, and wider security teams to strengthen security operations and reduce risk
• Continuously improve detection capabilities, helping to reduce attacker dwell time and enhance threat visibility across the organisation

• Degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in security monitoring, threat detection, threat hunting, or security operations
• Hands-on experience with SIEM, XDR, EDR, cloud security, identity protection, and network security technologies
• Strong understanding of threat actors, attack methodologies, and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model
• Experience working within large, global organisations and hybrid technology environments
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Demonstrated ability to drive continuous improvement and deliver measurable security outcomes
• Proactive, inquisitive, and solutions-focused approach with a strong sense of ownership and accountability

This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in developing and maturing an enterprise threat detection and hunting capability within a complex international environment.
