Being a Security Operations Analyst at iManage means…
You are the primarily responsible team member for the day-to-day monitoring of, and initial security event detection analysis for, all production systems, network infrastructure, and all other related information security systems, data, and event logs using our SIEM and related tools. You will, when needed, triage and escalate higher-priority events to other Analysts & Engineers and provide the necessary technical information for further analysis. Additionally, you will assist in identifying, analyzing and influencing the management of security risks across the organization based on observed events, logs and collected threat intelligence.

Our Cloud Security Operations team is expanding and actively searching for technical professionals to join our dedicated, energetic, and fast-growing global organization. If you are looking to deepen your knowledge and expertise in Information Security, this position is the gateway into that world. Prior experience is less important to us than the capability, willingness and motivation to learn across a wide variety of technical areas.

iM Responsible For…
  • Monitoring, triaging, and responding to security events across cloud-native and hybrid environments, leveraging a variety of sources and tools, while maintaining professionalism, urgency, and respect.
  • Preparing and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs), and creating managed automation or utilizing a SOAR platform to handle repeatable operational security tasks.
  • Developing, enhancing, and testing new detection and response capabilities, ensuring alignment with evolving threat landscapes and business needs.
  • Create and maintain dashboards, queries, and reports in a SIEM, to support alert analysis, improve triage speed, and provide actionable insights.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including DevOps, engineering, and IT—to ensure the delivery of high-quality, frictionless security operations and support.
  • Continuously monitor threat and vulnerability sources, analyzing potential risks and providing recommendations for detection and response.
  • Independently identify security alerts requiring exclusions or tuning, implement rule changes in a non-disruptive fashion, and perform post-change validation.
  • Performing regular review and follow-up on cross-functional security controls in accordance with weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual audit schedules.
  • Clearly communicating security incidents, findings, and risk postures to stakeholders, including non-technical audiences, with emphasis on business impact and mitigation steps, both verbal and in detailed written documentation.
  • Participating in incident response efforts, providing technical analysis, troubleshooting, and forensic support as needed.
  • Utilizing a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) to identify and analyze runtime threats, develop contextual insights, and orchestrate effective incident response for cloud-native workloads and applications; ensuring enforcement of compliance and security best practices across the cloud environment.
iM Qualified Because I Have…
  • A nearly innate desire to figure things out, paired with a lifelong commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, effective in both in-person and electronic formats.
  • Comfortable working with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, after being given the appropriate tools and direction.

  • Willingness and ability to work with global schedules, including non-traditional hours (e.g. PM, Weekends) and on-call escalations for incident response and work alerts.
  • 2–5 years of general, hands-on IT or technical experience (e.g., systems administration, networking, or similar); non-traditional experience will be considered.
  • 1–3 years of direct or adjacent Information Security experience, with the motivation and capability to rapidly absorb technical security knowledge.
  • Exposure to automation and scripting tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Python, PowerShell, AWS Lambda, or Azure Functions.
  • Basic understanding of endpoint protection technologies, with preference for EDR tools such as Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, or similar.
  • End-user focused experience to investigate security issues and communicate risks clearly with technical and non-technical teams.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Azure security features, including Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Servers, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office, Microsoft Sentinel, Conditional Access, XDR, Security Center, and Event Hubs.
  • Foundational understanding of cloud service providers such as Azure or AWS; certifications (e.g., AZ-500, AWS Security Specialty) are a plus.
  • Awareness of common cybersecurity frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain.
  • Proficiency using SIEM platforms and writing queries using query languages (e.g. SPL, KQL, others)
  • Familiarity with Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) such as Prisma Cloud, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, or Wiz.
  • Actively utilize Git-based workflows for version control to ensure proper management, collaboration, and auditability of security operations artifacts.
