About The Position
Join a global manufacturing and technology organization undertaking a broad cybersecurity improvement program across enterprise technology, connected products, and operational environments. This role will work closely with Cybersecurity, IT, Engineering, Product, Operations, Communications, and senior leadership to organize and execute a portfolio of security initiatives already underway while helping shape the next phase of the organization's cybersecurity roadmap.

- Experience partnering with cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, application, product, and business stakeholders.
- Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.

- Exceptional communication, facilitation, accountability, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Ability to present clearly and confidently to senior leadership.
Nice To Haves
- Manufacturing, OT, IoT/product-security, and vendor-transition experience are highly valued but not required as deep specialties.
- PMP, PgMP, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or related credentials are beneficial.
Responsibilities
- Lead multiple cybersecurity projects and workstreams simultaneously, establishing clear plans, owners, dependencies, milestones, risks, and success measures.
- Help formalize and prioritize an existing cybersecurity roadmap and incorporate recommendations from upcoming enterprise security assessments.
- Coordinate a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment and associated partner-selection/RFP activities.
- Drive security technology and vendor initiatives, which may include MDR platform transitions, identity improvements, and other enterprise security enhancements.

- Support OT and connected-product security programs by organizing technical teams, SMEs, stakeholders, and remediation activities.
