What We Do:

Huntress is a fully remote, global team of passionate experts and ethical badasses on a mission to break down the barriers to cybersecurity. Whether creating purpose-built security solutions, hunting down hackers, or impacting our community, our people go above and beyond to change the security game and make a real difference.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress protects all businesses—not just the 1%—with enterprise-grade, fully owned, and managed cybersecurity products at the price of an affordable SaaS application. The Huntress difference is our One Team advantage: our technology is designed with our industry-defining Security Operations Center (SOC) in mind and is never separated from our service.

We protect 4M+ endpoints and 7M+ identities worldwide, elevating underresourced IT teams with protection that works as hard as they do. As long as hackers keep hacking, Huntress keeps hunting.

What You'll Do:

The Huntress team is looking for a highly strategic and collaborative Cybersecurity Advisor with exceptional communication skills and the ability to operate as an embedded consultant. Cybersecurity Advisors are the primary technical and strategic liaison for our most complex and valuable accounts. You'll be responsible for building long-term, high-value partnerships by ensuring our partners not only maximize the value from the Huntress Platform but also align our solutions with their broader business and security objectives. Your goal is to serve as a trusted advisor, proactively engaging with key stakeholders and coordinating with internal Huntress teams to deliver strategic solutions that drive unparalleled growth and success for both organizations.

  • Technical Health & Proactive Engagement: Continuously review partner accounts to proactively identify and address technical health issues, such as unhealthy agents or misconfigured integrations, and ensure alignment with Huntress best practices. You will also monitor ongoing security incidents to maintain a complete view of the partner's security posture
  • Security Incident Liaison: Serve as a key liaison between partners and the Huntress Security Operations Center (SOC). You will lead the communication efforts for particularly critical or sensitive security incidents, providing a "white glove" escalation path and ensuring seamless information flow to assist both the SOC and the partner in their efforts to bring the incident to a successful resolution
  • Security Consulting & Training: Deliver and facilitate advanced security exercises, such as tabletop exercises, provide in-person and virtual training, and lead post-mortem sessions after major security incidents to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions
  • Go-to-Market (GTM) Enablement: Work alongside account teams in strategic deals to help partners win new client business. This includes leading proof-of-concepts (POCs), providing custom demonstrations, and assisting with technical sales support for complex opportunities
  • Product Advocacy & Influence: Act as a direct liaison between our most strategic partners and Huntress's Product, Engineering, and leadership teams. Gather and translate field feedback to directly influence our product roadmap and lead design partnership initiatives
  • Thought Leadership & Brand Evangelism: Represent Huntress as a brand ambassador by speaking at industry conferences, leading sessions at partner SKOs, and contributing to external-facing content such as blogs, articles, and white papers. Lead executive roundtables to discuss industry trends and threats
  • Internal Executive Updates: Provide internal quarterly account updates to executive leadership and key stakeholders at Huntress across multiple functions (e.g., Support, SOC, PMM, PM, and Sales)

What You Bring To The Team:

  • 7+ years of experience in a high-touch, consultative, or pre-sales role within the cybersecurity or SaaS industry, with a focus on enterprise or strategic accounts

  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills with a demonstrated ability to present complex topics to both C-level executives and technical champions
  • Demonstrated experience in public speaking at industry events, conferences, or company-wide meetings
  • A strategic and proactive mindset with the ability to work independently to identify opportunities for improvement and growth
  • Comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time and meeting face-to-face with key partners

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with malware, threat intelligence, and/or sandbox analysis
  • Experience with scripting languages such as PowerShell, Python, and Bash

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
