The role covers initiatives across enterprise security, application security, identity, vendor platforms, product and IoT security, and operational technology. It focuses on translating cybersecurity assessments and strategic priorities into structured, executable programs rather than hands-on security engineering.

• Experience partnering with cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, application, product, and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.
• Experience in one or more areas such as application security, Secure SDLC, identity, cloud security, vulnerability management, security operations, vendor platforms, OT, or IoT/product security.
• 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, or vendor-transition experience.
• PMP, PgMP, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or related credentials.

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple cybersecurity projects and workstreams simultaneously, defining plans, owners, dependencies, milestones, risks, and success measures.
• Formalize and prioritize the existing cybersecurity roadmap, incorporating recommendations from upcoming enterprise security assessments.
• Coordinate a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment and related partner-selection and RFP activities.
• Drive security technology and vendor initiatives, potentially including MDR platform transitions, identity improvements, and other enterprise security enhancements.
• Coordinate product and application-security initiatives, including cybersecurity assessments and Secure SDLC and control improvements.
• Support OT and connected-product security programs by organizing technical teams, subject-matter experts, stakeholders, and remediation activities.
• Partner with communications and business teams when security changes affect employees or broader organizational processes.
• Provide concise executive updates on progress, risks, blockers, dependencies, and decisions.
• Hold workstream owners accountable for commitments and ensure issues are escalated and resolved appropriately.
