This role ensures clarity, accountability, and momentum throughout the incident lifecycle, translating technical findings into business-relevant risk decisions and providing leadership with timely insights.

Serve as the primary coordination point between GM Security Operations, Incident Handlers, application security, vulnerability management, infrastructure teams, business partners, and leadership.
Apply approved tactical containment methods to impacted hosts, applications, identities, and other technology assets while considering business continuity, operational risk, and recovery requirements.
Direct the collection, validation, and documentation of victim, asset, application, and business-impact information to support informed risk-based decisions.
Maintain accurate incident status, action tracking, decision logs, stakeholder communications, and escalation records throughout the response lifecycle.
Communicate incident actions, emerging risks, technical findings, root cause analysis, recovery considerations, and residual risk to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.
Identify dependencies, remove response blockers, establish clear ownership, and drive timely execution of incident response actions across multiple teams.
Ensure incident response activities are performed consistently with approved policies, standards, playbooks, service-level expectations, and governance requirements.
Track, analyze, and report Security Operations incident metrics, including response performance, containment progress, trends, recurring control gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
Lead or facilitate post-incident reviews to identify systemic weaknesses, lessons learned, corrective actions, and opportunities to improve organizational resilience.
Partner with security and technology leaders to improve incident response processes, playbooks, automation, documentation, and operational readiness.
Coach and mentor incident coordinators and other team members, helping to build consistent decision-making, communication, and response practices across the organization.
Represent the incident response function in cross-functional initiatives, risk discussions, control assessments, exercises, and continuous improvement efforts.
Develop and deliver executive-level communications that clearly convey cybersecurity incidents, business impact, and response actions to senior leadership.
Develop, enhance, and maintain incident response toolsets to streamline operations, improve processes, and increase response effectiveness.
Operate as a recognized subject-matter leader for cybersecurity incident coordination and response operations.
Provide leaders with concise, actionable reporting that supports enterprise risk decisions and prioritization.
Support on call rotation during off hours and holidays.
Assist and develop incident metrics for executive leadership.
