About The Position

We’re looking for someone to lead cybersecurity across our OT environments and managed services. This role sits at the intersection of OT engineering, cybersecurity, MSS, and SOC operations.

This is a hands-on leadership role not just strategy but driving outcomes across teams and clients.

Strong background in OT security (SCADA, ICS, energy environments)
Solid experience with MSS and/or SOC operations
Working knowledge of NERC CIP and how it applies in practice
Experience handling real incidents, not just tabletop exercises
Comfortable operating across engineering, security, and operations teams
Able to push for better outcomes without overcomplicating things
8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a strong focus on OT / ICS environments
3+ years leading teams or programs across cybersecurity, OT, or operations
Hands-on experience with OT systems (SCADA, ICS, plant networks) in an operational environment
