The consultant will translate technical findings into clear risk-based insights and actionable recommendations that inform long-term insider threat and privileged access management strategies.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
- Lead an insider threat analysis focused on accounts with privileged access to systems containing guest/customer data
- Identify, inventory, and document where customer data originates, how it flows across systems, and where it is stored
- Analyze how risk changes across the data lifecycle based on system controls, access models, and data sensitivity
- Inventory and assess privileged access across in-scope platforms and data environments
- Perform deep-dive technical analysis and produce clear, well-structured findings, recommendations, and executive-ready reporting
- Partner closely with Identity and Information Security teams while independently engaging a wide range of technical and business stakeholders
- Support and influence long-term roadmaps for insider threat detection and privileged access management programs
- Apply a threat-informed mindset shaped by recent industry breaches and evolving insider risk scenarios
- Contribute to related security initiatives such as Zero Trust and Privileged Access Management (PAM) efforts
- Operate with a high degree of autonomy, setting direction, driving discovery, and managing deliverables end to end
Your values:
- Integrity: You believe in doing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable, seemingly inefficient, or costly.
- Purposefulness: You have a desire to serve others with your skillset and an openness to continuous learning and growth.
- Ownership: You stick to your commitments, follow up with action, and seek clarity in communication & expectations.
- Senior-level experience as a Threat Detection Engineer, Security Analyst, Security Engineer, or Security Program Manager with strong technical depth
- Proven ability to conduct self-directed security investigations involving structured data, access models, and complex system landscapes
- Hands-on experience analyzing privileged access, identity controls, and insider threat risks
- Strong understanding of customer/guest data security, data flows, and data lifecycle risk
- Experience working across cloud and enterprise environments such as AWS, Oracle (OCI), and data-centric platforms
- Ability to synthesize complex technical findings into clear documentation and actionable recommendations
- Comfort interfacing independently with engineering, analytics, identity, HR, fraud, and security teams
- Experience supporting or integrating with PAM, Zero Trust, or insider threat programs is strongly preferred
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience delivering analysis to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Consulting experience or demonstrated ability to succeed in ambiguous, evolving project scopes
- This role will have an initial engagement period of 6-8 weeks with 20-40 hours per week. There is possibility that this role will extend and evolve into a full time position.
