Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Insider Threat Detection Specialist to strengthen insider threat detection capabilities across our global environment.
This is a hands-on role focused on building and improving insider threat detections across security monitoring platforms. The successful candidate will identify behavioural indicators of insider risk and translate them into practical detection logic that allows the organisation to identify, monitor, and investigate insider activity effectively.
This role is not an alert monitoring position. The focus is on developing, tuning, and improving detection capabilities, ensuring insider risks can be identified early and investigated efficiently.
The role will work closely with investigators, security engineers, and analysts across the security organisation to strengthen detection coverage and improve signal quality.
Responsibilities
Detection Development
- Design and implement insider threat detections based on behavioural indicators and real-world risk scenarios.
- Identify gaps in current monitoring capabilities and propose new detections to address those gaps.
- Translate insider risk scenarios into practical alerting logic and monitoring rules across security platforms.
Detection Tuning & Optimization
- Tune existing detections and alert thresholds to improve signal quality and reduce false positives.
- Analyse detection performance using alert volumes, investigation outcomes, and behavioural patterns.
- Improve detection accuracy through iterative tuning and behavioural analysis.
Platform Implementation
- Configure detection logic directly within relevant security platforms where appropriate.
- Work closely with Security Engineering and SOC teams to implement or enhance detections across monitoring systems.
Investigation Support
- Provide technical analysis to support insider investigations when high-risk alerts occur.
- Assist investigators in reconstructing timelines and analysing user behaviour using available security telemetry.
Detection Library Development
- Maintain and expand a structured insider threat detection use-case library.
- Document detection logic, behavioural indicators, and implementation approaches to support programme maturity.
Required Experience
- 4+ years of experience working in Insider Threat, Insider Risk, Fraud Detection, or Security Analytics roles.
- Demonstrated experience building, tuning, or improving security detections or alerts within security monitoring platforms.
- Understanding of behavioural indicators associated with insider risk, such as abnormal data access, large data transfers, data staging, privilege misuse, or policy bypass attempts.
- Experience analysing security telemetry to support investigations or incident response.
- Ability to identify detection gaps and propose practical monitoring improvements.
Desirable Experience
- Experience with Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management.
- Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, SIEM, UEBA, or DLP platforms.
- Exposure to internal fraud investigations or insider threat programmes.
- Experience collaborating with SOC teams, security engineers, investigators, or risk teams.
