You'll serve as the regional lead and subject matter expert for Threat Assessment and Management, owning complex and sensitive threat cases end-to-end while partnering with GSOC, Executive Protection, Legal, HR/ER, Insider Threat, and other stakeholders to drive coordinated response and help mature the program's regional capabilities.
What you'll do:
- Own end-to-end threat case management for your region, from intake, triage, and behavioral assessment through mitigation planning, documentation, and closure for threats impacting employees, executives, facilities, and other Coinbase assets.
- Lead structured behavioral threat assessments using Coinbase methodologies and accepted frameworks (e.g., JACA, WAVR-21, CTAP-25) to evaluate motivation, capability, escalation indicators, and stabilizers, then translate findings into clear operational recommendations.
- Drive intelligence-led incident response by serving as the intelligence lead during active incidents, coordinating with GSOC, ensuring timely escalation, and delivering decision support through resolution.
- Partner cross-functionally with Executive Protection, GSOC, Legal, HR/ER, Insider Threat, and Communications to coordinate response actions, align mitigations, and manage reporting obligations.
- Produce decision-ready briefings, written assessments, and executive updates that communicate threat posture, risk rationale, and recommended next steps to security leadership and cross-functional partners.
- Strengthen regional program maturity by improving intake standards, QA/QC, playbooks, metrics, training, and handoff processes, and by mentoring peers through expertise and influence.
