Here, consultants and technologists operate on the edge of innovation—supported by a culture that values craftsmanship, open collaboration, and technical expertise.

Spyglass is Quisitive’s Security-as-a-Service offering — a modern, insight-driven approach to managed security that goes beyond alerts and tickets. In this role, you’ll help customers turn Microsoft Sentinel insights into better decisions and measurable risk reduction.

About the Role

The Microsoft Sentinel Security Consultant is a customer-facing, advisory role focused on translating Microsoft Sentinel telemetry into clear, actionable security guidance. This is not a traditional SOC role. Instead, it’s designed for professionals who enjoy analyzing patterns, explaining security findings, and coaching customers on how to improve their security posture over time. You’ll work closely with Spyglass Security Coaches, SecOps teams, and Customer Success Managers to help customers understand what Sentinel is telling them, why it matters, and what to do next.

What You’ll Do

Microsoft Sentinel Advisory (Primary Focus)

• Review and interpret Microsoft Sentinel incidents, analytics rules, detections, and trends for assigned customers
• Analyze recurring security signals to identify attack patterns, control gaps, and risk trends over time
• Develop, read, and explain KQL queries, workbooks, and Sentinel dashboards
• Partner with MDR and SecOps teams to validate detections, distinguish real risk from noise, and convert findings into advisory recommendations
• Guide customers on how to act on Sentinel insights, not just respond to alerts

Security Coaching & Advisory

• Support and contribute to monthly Spyglass security coaching sessions
• Translate technical Sentinel outputs into clear, business-relevant narratives
• Participate in executive and technical security advisory discussions
• Contribute to customer security roadmaps informed by Sentinel-driven insights

Platform & Control Alignment

• Assess customer security posture across Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR, and Entra ID
• Map Sentinel findings to security frameworks such as NIST CSF and CIS Controls
• Identify gaps in telemetry, detection coverage, and control effectiveness

Delivery & Collaboration

• Support Spyglass flex work by helping scope, estimate, and validate customer security engagements
• Develop customer-facing materials such as security narratives, coaching decks, and Sentinel-backed summaries
• Collaborate closely with Security Coaches, Customer Success Managers, and SecOps teams

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Sentinel, including incident review, analytics rules, workbooks, and KQL
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Office 365, Cloud Apps, and Entra ID
• Ability to communicate security insights clearly to non-SOC and business audiences
• Experience in a consultative or advisory security role
• Strong ownership mindset and customer-focused communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering recurring security coaching or advisory services
• Familiarity with NIST CSF and CIS Controls
• Experience supporting regulated industries such as healthcare or financial services
• Microsoft security certifications (SC-200, SC-300, SC-400, AZ-500)
