LUTZE INC•Gardner, MA

18d•$130,000 - $160,000

About The Position

The Cybersecurity & Risk Manager is a shared, hands-on cybersecurity resource supporting Data Guide Cable (DGC), LUTZE, and Amphenol Energy Technologies (AET). The role identifies cybersecurity risks and implements technical and process changes to reduce them across business systems, networks, cloud services, endpoints, identities, and manufacturing technology environments. Working with local IT teams, business leaders, Corporate IT and Cybersecurity, Operations, vendors, and third-party providers, the manager conducts assessments, troubleshoots gaps, configures and deploys security controls, coordinates changes, validates remediation, and maintains sustainable cybersecurity practices across supported locations. This position is dedicated to cybersecurity and does not include routine help-desk support or ownership of day-to-day IT operations. It does involve working directly in the environment and assisting with technical implementation when cybersecurity changes are required. The position may be based in the Chicago, Illinois area or Gardner, Massachusetts area and requires approximately 50–60% travel to other listed business locations, customer locations, and Amphenol business units for assessments, implementations, remediation, incident response, integrations, audits, and engagement with local leadership and IT teams.
