We are seeking a Senior Security Analyst to strengthen our security operations function with deep expertise in advanced incident investigation, threat hunting, and incident response (L2/L3). This role also drives improvements in detection quality by applying DevOps and automation practices to modernize logging, alerting, and automated response orchestration.

You will partner closely with IT, cloud, engineering, service partners and broader business teams to continuously elevate Sagard's security posture in a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment.

Responsibilities

  • Lead L2/L3 security incident investigations from detection through remediation and post-incident analysis.
  • Conduct proactive threat hunting across SIEM, XDR/EDR, network, and cloud environments to identify emerging threats.
  • Build, tune, and maintain security detections, correlation logic, and analytics aligned to evolving threat techniques.
  • Improve security telemetry, logging coverage, and signal quality across environments.
  • Develop automation and orchestration workflows to accelerate incident triage and response.
  • Administer and optimize security platforms including SIEM, XDR, email, and network security tools.
  • Partner with cloud, infrastructure, and engineering teams to embed security monitoring across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments.
  • Develop and maintain security policies, playbooks, and runbooks; support vulnerability management and risk prioritization.
  • Assist in other Cybersecurity related tasks as required.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of security operations experience with emphasis on incident response, threat detection, and monitoring.
  • Proven ability to lead advanced incident investigations and coordinate response activities.
  • Hands-on experience with security platforms including SIEM, XDR/EDR, email, and network security tools.
  • Demonstrated experience building and tuning detections, reducing alert noise, and developing automation.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash).
  • Working knowledge of cloud security monitoring and detection across modern cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with vulnerability management, risk assessment, and security operations frameworks.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; security certifications or SOAR experience a plus.
