  • Represent the team in meetings with other teams and departments to drive projects and priorities toward completion.
  • Act as a technical escalation point during major incidents where adversary countermeasures must be deployed in real time.
  • Monitor industry research, emerging threats, and evolving attacker techniques to keep defenses ahead of adversary capabilities.
  • Provide input to executive leadership on countermeasure effectiveness, defensive gaps, and future-state strategy.


What You'll Bring:
  • 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including significant experience in detection engineering, red/purple team operations, or cyber defense countermeasures.
  • 3+ years of people management or team leadership experience.
  • Hands-on experience with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, and deception technologies..
  • Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) with the ability to translate complex technical topics for both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Preferred certifications: GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence (GCTI), GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM), OSCP/OSEP, or CISSP.


The starting base pay is $117,200.00 to $157,500.00. Blackbaud may pay more or less based on employee qualifications, market value, Company finances, and other operational considerations.

Benefits Include:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
