• Translate hunt findings into actionable defensive improvements by working closely with Cyber Threat Intelligence, CSOC, Incident Response, Detection Engineering, Purple Team and Vulnerability Management, ensuring hunt outcomes improve detection, response and control effectiveness
• Communicate complex hunt findings clearly to senior technical and non-technical stakeholders, producing concise evidence-based reporting, recommendations and follow-up actions for wider action within Barclays

Other highly valued skills include:
