Job Description & Summary 

As a manager, you will lead the newly established TDR delivery team. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the team delivers high-quality technical services that significantly impact the client's security posture. You will be the main contact for clients, a mentor for Senior Associates, and a key player in developing service offerings and business development. However, you’re expected to still “get your hands dirty” – this isn’t a pure project manager role, but a technical delivery leader.

Delivery Leadership & Client Relationship (~35% of Time)

• Lead client engagements from scoping through delivery to closure.

• Serve as the main point of contact for the client, communicating with security leadership and management.

• Conduct workshops at executive and technical levels.

• Manage scope, priorities, escalations, and client expectations.

• Take ownership of the quality of deliverables (assessment reports, roadmaps, solution proposals).

• Present outputs at the C-level/CISO level.

Technical Contribution (~30% of Time)

• Engage in hands-on work in at least two areas: SIEM (Splunk/Sentinel), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.

• Conduct technical reviews of team outputs to ensure quality and consistency.

• Provide architectural advice in detection & response areas (SIEM architecture, log management strategies, use case framework).

• Actively monitor the threat landscape and its implications for clients.

• Ability to jump into technical work when needed – you are not just a "people manager."

Business Development, Mentoring & Service Development (~35% of Time)

• Lead and mentor 2 Senior Associates in their technical and professional growth.

• Actively support business development by identifying opportunities, presales presentations, and preparing proposals.

• Define and develop service offerings - decide what we sell, how we deliver it, and how we scale it.

• Collaborate with other practice areas (e.g., GRC, Cloud Security, Identity) on cross-sell opportunities.

• Conduct labor estimation, pricing, and resource planning.

• Build internal knowledge base, reusable assets, and delivery frameworks.

What This Role Is NOT:

⚠️ To avoid misunderstandings:

• This is NOT purely a managerial role. We expect you to contribute technically 30% of the time.

• This is NOT a pure project manager role. You need to understand content, not just the process.

• This is NOT a strategic advisory role without delivery responsibility. You deliver, not just advise.

• This is NOT a role with a large team of 10+ people. You lead a small, senior team – you need to be a "playing coach."

• This is NOT a "slide factory." We do real work with real impact.

Requirements of the Role 

• 6–10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including at least 2 years in consulting/professional services or a role with client responsibility.

• Practical hands-on experience in at least two areas: SIEM (preferably Splunk), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.

• Proven experience in leading projects/work packages/delivery streams.

• Ability to communicate with security leadership and management—not just technically, but in business terms as well.

• Experience in mentoring junior/mid-level team members.

• Proficient in English at a working level (C1); Czech is an advantage.

• Ability to structure complex problems and propose pragmatic solutions.

• Experience in preparing proposals, labor estimation, and scope definition.

Nice to have

• Experience in building or significantly developing a security team/practice.

• Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, cloud security (Azure/AWS) at an architectural level.

• Experience with SOAR implementation or automation of detection & response processes.

• Certifications: GIAC (GCIH, GCIA, GCDA), CISSP, CISM, Splunk certifications.

• Experience with MITRE ATT&CK, threat modeling, or red/purple teaming concepts.

• Previous work in Big4, boutique cyber consultancy, or MSSP.

How this role will advance your career

• Opportunity to build the TDR practice from the ground up – real ownership and impact.

• Development of leadership skills in an environment where you make a difference.

• Direct contact with senior security stakeholders at clients.

• Path to a Senior Manager/Director role upon demonstrating business growth and delivery excellence.

• Ability to shape market positioning and service portfolio in a growing area.
