About The Position

Crowe is seeking a Cyber AI Security Manager to join their team. This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering and cybersecurity, focusing on helping clients securely adopt AI and reinventing how cybersecurity services are delivered using AI. The manager will assess and secure GenAI, ML, and agentic systems, develop security patterns and controls for emerging AI architectures, and partner with cybersecurity teams to identify, prototype, and scale AI-enabled capabilities. The role involves collaborating with AI developers, DevOps engineers, and product teams; supporting security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability management for AI systems; acting as a security expert in designing, developing, and deploying secure AI and machine learning applications, with a focus on safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII); staying ahead of emerging cybersecurity threats, privacy regulations, and compliance requirements; documenting security protocols, conducting training sessions, and promoting security awareness; engaging with stakeholders to refine security policies and procedures specific to AI and ML products; identifying opportunities to apply GenAI, agents, ML, and automation to improve cybersecurity services and client outcomes; prototyping and productionizing AI-enabled security capabilities; partnering with cybersecurity practitioners to understand existing delivery processes and determine where AI can improve quality, speed, scalability, or insight; evaluating emerging AI security tooling; and helping establish reusable AI-enabled cybersecurity accelerators, patterns, and intellectual property.

Requirements

Minimum of 7 years' experience in cybersecurity, particularly focused on securing software and data-intensive products.
Proficiency with cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, or CIS Controls.
Familiarity with AI-specific regulatory environments and ethical considerations surrounding AI deployment.
Experience with AI related frameworks such as NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications / GenAI Security Project, and MITRE ATLAS.
Hands-on experience designing, developing, or integrating AI/ML or Generative AI solutions, including experience with LLM APIs, AI agents/tool use, and modern AI application architectures.
Demonstrated ability to identify cybersecurity use cases for AI and translate them into prototypes, production solutions, or scalable service offerings.
Deep understanding of AI/ML systems architecture and the associated security considerations.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex security topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including engineering, legal, compliance, and business stakeholders.
Would require readiness to travel domestically approximately 80% of the time to meet client needs.
Certifications such as CISSP, CEH, CompTIA Security+, or relevant Microsoft Azure security certifications.
Bachelor’s degree.
