  Cybersecurity Advisor
  Rapid7 Cybersecurity Advisors partner with our customers above and beyond the tactical aspects of vulnerability management, application security, and threat detection and incident response.

Our analysts and scanning operation teams keep a constant watch on our customers and provide guidance and strategies to help identify and remediate significant risks. Rapid7 Cybersecurity Advisors are fanatical about security and customer satisfaction, and are just as comfortable working in the weeds with engineers as we are briefing a CISO on a recent breach and security strategy.

  • Develop and maintain strong, long-lasting advisory relationships with key stakeholders, including technical teams, project managers, and C-level executives on complex accounts

  • Operate as the escalation point for junior advisors, driving the revitalization of customer health and satisfaction on escalated accounts

  • Guide clients through findings and provide subject matter expertise for response activities

  • Provide expertise in technology deployment and client onboarding processes

  • Gather client input and requirements across the Managed Services client base to influence Managed Services service roadmap

  • Teach and mentor junior team members on technical concepts and service delivery best practices

  • Assist Managed Services Leadership with effective scaling strategies to face the challenge of an ever-expanding customer base

  • Anticipate potential risks and challenges in customer relationships and work proactively to address them before they escalate

  The skills you’ll bring include:

  • Bachelors Degree in Information Technology, or two or more years of related experience

  • 3-5 years of experience in Information Security or related discipline

  • Industry-related certifications i.e. A+, Network+, Sec+, Cloud+, CCSP, etc.

  • Outstanding written and verbal skills

  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills

  • Information Security consulting experience

  • Prior technology deployment and configuration experience

  • Significant experience with security frameworks and concepts

  • Excellent project management and prioritization abilities

  • Significant experience in managed or enterprise information security services, vulnerability management, incident response, forensics, malware analysis, penetration testing, or network defense

  • Mastery of technical concepts and experience advising customers on how to best use and adopt the platform for faster Return on Investment (ROI)

  • Problem-solving mentality with the ability to navigate complex situations independently
