About The Position

An opportunity for a Global IT Security Director to join a multi-$B global technology innovator at a genuinely interesting moment: newly independent, publicly listed, and with serious M&A growth ambitions. We’re looking for an exceptional GRC-focused Security leader with international, MNC exposure, to lead and integrate cybersecurity across a growing group of diverse businesses. Veralto (www.veralto.com / NYSE: VLTO) is a $5.5B annual sales revenue global leader in essential technology solutions, comprising a portfolio of mature businesses. We’re big enough to offer real resources and global reach and focused enough that what you do here genuinely matters. The Global Security Director is a 100% remote position (optimally East Coast/Central US home-based) with periodic travel and is part of the Veralto Global Security senior leadership team, reporting to the VP, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The jobholder will lead a small global team that provides fully centralized security services across all 15 Veralto Operating Companies (OpCos), further developing relationships and partnering with technical and business leaders to mature capabilities across governance, risk and compliance, and third-party risk. Planned further M&A activity ensures ongoing further growth of responsibilities and role expansion. The position will also collaborate closely with security architecture and engineering, security operations and incident response, vulnerability and exposure management, application & product security, cloud and data security. As a senior leader, you’ll set direction, remove obstacles, develop talent, proactively identify & mitigate risks, and ensure delivery of key outcomes through clear priorities, metrics, and stakeholder alignment. The role provides the chance to work closely with a group of very different businesses (industrial & water quality equipment manufacturing, laser technology, software, SaaS, AI etc) and provides exceptional career development opportunities into other senior IT leadership positions across Veralto.
