Job description

The Cyber Threat Mitigations Team is looking for an experienced service-area lead with strong background in threat surface management and the technical control solutions that support it (ex. vulnerability scanning and prioritization platforms, EDR, SIEM).

This role is designed for someone who excels at working with cross-functional teams to drive down security risk across Lilly’s technology estate, and who will build durable connections with adjacent cybersecurity teams to ensure emerging threats translate into prioritized, actionable mitigation work.

As a Threat Mitigations Advisor, you will partner with internal cyber teams, platform and application owners, and business stakeholders to reduce the impact of identified vulnerabilities and threats. You will drive burndowns of targeted risks across the organization and support application teams in executing their cyber mitigation plans.

You will also serve as a technical anchor for the threat surface management squad, raising the capability of the analysts around you., Threat Mitigation & Burndown Execution

  • Assist in the intake of vulnerability, exposure, and threat intelligence data from across the cyber organization and translate it into scoped, executable burndown campaigns with clear owners, targets, and timelines.

  • Develop solutions that accelerate burndown execution, including automation of triage, deduplication, ownership identification, and notification.

  • Drive burndowns to closure - tracking progress against targets, unblocking remediation owners, and escalating stalled or high-severity work.

  • Capture root cause, technical recommendations, and lessons learned, and package them for the teams that can act on them to drive durable process improvement.

Threat Mitigation Plan Validation & Support

  • Assist platform, application, and infrastructure teams in interpreting mitigation requirements and completing their security plans, removing friction rather than simply tracking overdue items.

  • Serve as a technical resource for the ‘how’

  • Confirm implementation of threat mitigation requirements in our GRC tool - validating that required controls are in place, evidence is attached, and records are accurate before closure.

Threat Surface Management Squad Leadership

  • Serve as the subject matter expert for the wider analyst pool, leading deep technical dives into vulnerabilities, adversary TTPs, and threat intelligence to build the team’s capability.

  • Upskill the Mitigation Analyst Pool by identifying skill gaps and closing them to sustain service area delivery.

  • Develop and refine capabilities and strategies that expand what the threat surface management squad can deliver to the wider organization.

Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Build and sustain working relationships with adjacent cybersecurity teams including Cyber Defense, Identity and Access Management, Security Architecture & Engineering, and Platforms.

  • Serve as a technical advisor to cyber leadership and their stakeholders across the wider organization, translating threat and remediation data into decisions leadership can act on., Leads strategy, roadmap, prioritization, development, and financial performance for business technology products supporting Vendor Finance. Coordinates technology, business, risk, compliance, and vendor stakeholders; manages product initiatives, timelines, budgets, customer experience, and regulatory requirements. Evaluates product opportunities, drives innovation using emerging technologies including AI, and leads product development teams, including staffing, performance management, and talent development.
