About The Position

This role combines project management and cyber engineering responsibilities from day one, reporting directly to the CISO. Initial priority will be leading the enterprise implementation of commercial AI tools across the organization over an approximately 3–6 month engagement, including change management, user adoption, AI governance and policy work with third-party consultants and internal teams, and project delivery cadence and stakeholder reporting. In parallel, the individual will contribute to the Cyber Engineer function — partnering with third-party security vendors on the execution of the enterprise security practice, supporting audits, and assisting with daily operations across endpoint security, vulnerability management, compliance scanning, SIEM, and IDAM — with cyber responsibilities ramping up as the AI implementation approaches completion. Leading additional enterprise IT projects may also become a responsibility of this role over time.
