Who You’ll Work With

We are seeking a data-driven and technically proficient Cybersecurity Enablement Analyst to serve as a force multiplier for our Cybersecurity team. This is a hands-on technical execution role focused on optimizing the "connective tissue" of our security program. Rather than overseeing others, you will be in the trenches—wrangling complex security datasets, standardizing technical documentation, and automating the manual workflows that slow our engineers down. The ideal candidate has a foundational understanding of security architecture and the technical curiosity to build simple tools and scripts that streamline our advisory, compliance, and sales enablement functions.

What You’ll Do

• Execute Sales Security Support: Join the frontline team responsible for responding to technical security information requests and customer audits. You will draft precise, technically accurate responses regarding our security posture, utilizing and updating our centralized knowledge base to ensure technical consistency.
• Engineer Technical Documentation: Own the "Source of Truth" for our technical workflows. You will translate complex security configurations and engineering processes into structured Confluence documentation, ensuring our internal playbooks are as rigorous and scalable as our code.
• Streamline Advisory & Compliance Reporting: Partner with technical leads to capture raw security data for compliance reporting and security advisories. You will build repeatable processes for evidence collection, ensuring that reporting cycles for frameworks (like SOC2 or PCI) are data-driven and frictionless.
• Data Wrangling & Automation: Get hands-on with the department’s data pipeline. You will perform technical data hygiene on CSVs and JSON exports from security tooling, and leverage AI/LLMs to build simple automation scripts to eliminate repetitive data entry and directory organization.
• Facilitate Technical Follow-Ups: Act as the technical liaison for cross-departmental tasks. You will track the status of open security findings and engineering tickets, ensuring technical evidence is validated and filed correctly within our centralized directories.
• Synthesize Technical Metrics: Extract and organize raw metrics from our security stack to build high-fidelity data visualizations and technical updates for executive-level reviews and strategic planning.
• Training Program Development: Work with a team of individuals to help organize and develop training content for Cybersecurity across the organization.

• Technical Foundation: 3–5 years in a hands-on technical role (Security, Systems Admin, or Technical Analyst). You must be able to speak the language of engineers and understand concepts like API security, cloud infrastructure, and identity lifecycle.
• Data & Scripting Proficiency: Strong analytical mindset with the ability to manipulate large datasets. Proficiency in Excel is required; experience with AI coding frameworks such as Cursor, Augment, or Claude Code and using LLMs for prompt-based automation is highly preferred.
• Documentation Rigor: A track record of creating high-quality technical documentation or process maps. You have a "developer mindset" toward documentation—treating it as a product that must be accurate, version-controlled, and easy to navigate.
• Communication Precision: The ability to translate nuanced technical details into clear, professional responses for external customers and internal stakeholders.
• Operational Discipline: Exceptional self-management skills with the ability to maintain 4+ hours of overlap with EST (Eastern Standard Time) while working from the EU or India.
• Education: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Bonus Points (Preferred Qualifications)

• Experience with python, node, or go programming languages
• Experience working within Jira/Confluence as a power user.
• Foundational security certifications (e.g., Security+, GSEC, or Associate of ISC2).
• Experience using AI-powered tools to automate data categorization or report generation.
