Microsoft Security - Security Operations & Threat Protection

Slalom is a global business and technology consulting company committed to helping people and organizations dream bigger, move faster, and build better tomorrows. Our Microsoft Security organization brings together deep expertise across Microsoft's security, identity, data protection, compliance, cloud, and AI security ecosystem.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Principal – Microsoft Security, Security Operations & Threat Protection to establish and lead Slalom's next-generation Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, and Project Perception capability. This is a strategic leadership role for an experienced Microsoft security practitioner who combines deep technical expertise in Security Operations with enterprise and security architecture, consulting leadership, business development, and Microsoft ecosystem experience. You will be responsible for building this capability from the ground up—developing the technical vision, creating differentiated offerings and intellectual property, developing client relationships, partnering with Microsoft, supporting sales pursuits, and building the skills necessary to scale the capability across Slalom. This is not simply an implementation role. You will build the capability, sell the capability, deliver the capability, and develop the people who will scale it.
