SecOps Business Analyst
Foresite is looking for a dynamic, execution-focused SecOps Business Analyst to bridge the gap between technical execution and executive strategy. Reporting directly to the VP of Security Operations, you will act as a dedicated process architect and specials projects lead for our Security Operations team.
What You'll Do:
In this role, you won't just sit behind a desk looking at spreadsheets; you will embed directly with our security analysts and engineers. You will shadow their day-to-day workflows, map out how alerts move through our ecosystem, document "tribal knowledge" into repeatable playbooks, and identify opportunities to eliminate manual toil through process refinement and automation.
Process Discovery & Shadowing: Spend dedicated time with SOC analysts, incident responders, and security engineers to understand their daily workflows, pain points, alert-handling procedures, and tool usage.
Workflow Documentation: Translate chaotic, complex, or unwritten technical procedures into clear, visual swimlane diagrams, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and incident response playbooks.
Continuous Improvement (CI): Analyze current-state processes to find bottlenecks, redundant steps, and alert fatigue catalysts. Propose data-driven recommendations for automation (via SOAR) or process refinement.
VP Special Projects: Execute ad-hoc, high-priority projects assigned by the VP of Cybersecurity (e.g., evaluating the operational ROI of a security tool, prepping for a maturity assessment, or facilitating post-incident root-cause analysis).
Metrics & Reporting: Help define, capture, and track Security Operations KPIs (e.g., Mean Time to Acknowledge [MTTA], Mean Time to Remediate [MTTR], and process error rates) to demonstrate the business value of security optimizations.
Who You Are:
Experience: 2+ years of experience in project management, business operations, or continuous improvement roles, ideally in a fast-paced or tech-forward environment.
Cybersecurity Literacy: A strong foundational understanding of SecOps concepts (SIEM, SOAR, EDR, vulnerability patching, threat hunting, and the lifecycle of an incident).
Data Literacy: Strong proficiency in data analysis. Experience with tools like SQL, Excel/Sheets (advanced), and data visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI, Looker) to turn data into narratives.
Methodological Toolkit: Familiarity with continuous improvement frameworks (Lean, Six Sigma, or Agile/Scrum).
Leadership & Influence: Exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to lead matrixed, cross-functional teams and influence without direct authority.
Nice to Have:
Certifications in Process/Service Management (e.g., ITIL 4, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, or Scrum Master).
Basic security certifications showing technical curiosity (e.g., CompTIA Security+, GSEC, or specialized vendor certifications).
Experience participating in "Post-Mortem" or Root Cause Analysis (RCA) exercises following major operational or security incidents.
