About The Role
As a Senior Insider Threat Investigator and Program Lead, you will manage both individual investigations and the overall insider threat detection and prevention strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct complex, confidential investigations into potential insider threats involving data exfiltration, sabotage, fraud, or behavioral anomalies in partnership with Security Engineering (Detection), Security Operations, HR, and Legal teams.
• Build analytical and behavioral models to proactively identify high-risk patterns across systems and data.
• Serve as the escalation authority for insider incidents requiring law enforcement coordination.
• Develop KPIs and dashboards to track trends, root causes, and emerging risk indicators in partnership with Security Operations and HR teams.
• Contribute to the continuously evolving Insider Threat Program roadmap, technology stack, and governance.
• Co-develop and maintain playbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and governance documentation for insider risk management.
• Partner with stakeholders to increase insider threat awareness, reporting mechanisms, and behavioral red flags.
• Conduct after-action reviews, root cause analyses, and help drive program improvements based on investigative findings.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 8+ years of experience in insider threat operations, counterintelligence, or corporate investigations.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional investigations with discretion and rigor.
• Strong grasp of both technical (SIEM, DLP, endpoint telemetry) and behavioral (psychological indicators, motives, stressors) threat detection principles.
• Excellent writing, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Security Studies, Psychology, Information Security, or related field desired.
• Willingness to travel (regional or international) when required to support investigations or collaborate with key stakeholders.
• Proven track record leading high-sensitivity or executive-level investigations with discretion.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience building or managing enterprise Insider Threat Programs or cross-functional risk initiatives.
• Experience in private-sector corporate security or critical infrastructure sectors.
• Certifications such as CFE, CISM, or insider threat analyst certifications.
• Familiarity with global privacy laws and employee data handling standards.
