Job description & summary

As a manager, you will lead the newly established TDR delivery team. Your primary responsibility is to ensure the team delivers high-quality technical services that significantly impact the client's security posture. You will be the main contact for clients, a mentor for Senior Associates, and a key player in developing service offerings and business development. However, you’re expected to still “get your hands dirty” – this isn’t a pure project manager role, but a technical delivery leader.

Delivery Leadership & Client Relationship (~35% of Time)

Lead client engagements from scoping through delivery to closure.
Serve as the main point of contact for the client, communicating with security leadership and management.
Conduct workshops at executive and technical levels.
Manage scope, priorities, escalations, and client expectations.
Take ownership of the quality of deliverables (assessment reports, roadmaps, solution proposals).
Present outputs at the C-level/CISO level.

Technical Contribution (~30% of Time)

Engage in hands-on work in at least two areas: SIEM (Splunk/Sentinel), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.
Conduct technical reviews of team outputs to ensure quality and consistency.
Provide architectural advice in detection & response areas (SIEM architecture, log management strategies, use case framework).
Actively monitor the threat landscape and its implications for clients.
Ability to jump into technical work when needed – you are not just a "people manager."

Business Development, Mentoring & Service Development (~35% of Time)

Lead and mentor 2 Senior Associates in their technical and professional growth.
Actively support business development by identifying opportunities, presales presentations, and preparing proposals.
Define and develop service offerings - decide what we sell, how we deliver it, and how we scale it.
Collaborate with other practice areas (e.g., GRC, Cloud Security, Identity) on cross-sell opportunities.
Conduct labor estimation, pricing, and resource planning.
Build internal knowledge base, reusable assets, and delivery frameworks.

What This Role Is NOT:

To avoid misunderstandings:

This is NOT purely a managerial role. We expect you to contribute technically 30% of the time.
This is NOT a pure project manager role. You need to understand content, not just the process.
This is NOT a strategic advisory role without delivery responsibility. You deliver, not just advise.
This is NOT a role with a large team of 10+ people. You lead a small, senior team – you need to be a "playing coach."
This is NOT a "slide factory." We do real work with real impact.

6–10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including at least 2 years in consulting/professional services or a role with client responsibility.
Practical hands-on experience in at least two areas: SIEM (preferably Splunk), Threat Hunting, Incident Response, Detection Engineering.
Proven experience in leading projects/work packages/delivery streams.
Ability to communicate with security leadership and management—not just technically, but in business terms as well.
Experience in mentoring junior/mid-level team members.
Proficient in English at a working level (C1); Czech is an advantage.
Ability to structure complex problems and propose pragmatic solutions.
Experience in preparing proposals, labor estimation, and scope definition.

What will help you stand out

Experience in building or significantly developing a security team/practice.
Experience with Microsoft Sentinel, cloud security (Azure/AWS) at an architectural level.

Direct contact with senior security stakeholders at clients.
Path to a Senior Manager/Director role upon demonstrating business growth and delivery excellence.
Ability to shape market positioning and service portfolio in a growing area.
