Role Summary

The Manager, Cyber Risk Advisor is a senior-level individual who combines deep technical expertise in exposure management with hands-on people leadership. Reporting to the Director of Operations, this role is responsible for delivering an exceptional managed service experience to a portfolio of customers while also mentoring and day-to-day managing a team of Cyber Risk Advisors.

On the technical side, you will lead complex advisory engagements, interpret vulnerability and attack surface data, and provide prioritized, context-driven remediation guidance that drives measurable risk reduction. On the people side, you will coach team members, oversee workload distribution, conduct regular 1:1s, contribute to hiring, evaluate performance and act as an escalation point for both customers and colleagues. Strong communication skills are essential — you will be equally comfortable presenting to a CISO and diving into raw scan data with an IT team.
