The Email Security Analyst is responsible for protecting the organization from email-borne threats, enforcing messaging security controls, and improving detection and response capabilities. This role partners with the SOC/IR, End Users, Operations and Compliance teams to reduce phishing, business email compromise (BEC), malware delivery, spoofing, and data loss via email while maintaining a strong end-user experience and measurable risk reduction.
How you will contribute
Email Threat Detection and Response:
- Monitor and investigate email-borne threats including phishing, BEC, credential harvesting, malware, spoofing, and spam campaigns.
- Triage alerts from Proofpoint, M365, SIEM/SOAR, and user-reported submissions.
- Perform message trace investigations, header analysis, URL and attachment analysis, and identify campaign scope and root cause.
- Execute response actions: quarantine/retract messages, block senders/domains/URLs, coordinate account containment with SOC, and tune detections.
Platform Administration and Policy Management:
- Administer and optimize Proofpoint and M365 messaging security controls (anti-phishing, anti-spam, anti-malware, impersonation protection).
- Manage transport/mail flow rules and targeted protections for executives and high-risk users.
- Maintain allow/block lists with lifecycle controls (validation, expiration, audit trail) to minimize policy sprawl.
- Continuously tune detections to reduce false positives/negatives and improve protection efficacy.
Email Authentication and Domain Protection:
- Understand and support domain fraud protection via SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment, reporting analysis, and enforcement recommendations.
- Coordinate with domain owners, registrars and third-party senders to ensure compliant authentication and reduce spoofing risk.
Automation, Reporting, and Continuous Improvement:
- Create and maintain playbooks/runbooks and automate common investigations and response actions (with automation where possible).
- Produce business-oriented metrics and dashboards for business leadership.
- Lead recurring hygiene efforts including policy cleanup, exception reduction, and deprecation of obsolete rules.
Collaboration and User Enablement:
- Work with SOC/IR on incidents that originate from email and ensure proper evidence collection and containment steps.
- Partner with Email Security team, end users and Help Desk teams to resolve deliverability issues and enforce secure exception handling.

- 5+ years in email security, messaging security operations, or a SOC analyst role with primary focus on email threat defense.
- Hands-on experience administering Proofpoint or comparable Secure Email Gateway (SEG) platforms (e.g., Mimecast, Abnormal, Barracuda, Cisco ESA).
- Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 email and messaging security.
- Strong investigation skills including header analysis, hunting across mail logs, and URL/attachment analysis.
