About The Position

The Senior Cybersecurity Project Manager delivers strategic cybersecurity initiatives that strengthen the organization’s security posture, reduce risk, improve compliance, and support business objectives. The role may focus on a specific cybersecurity domain or coordinate initiatives spanning multiple domains, including Identity Security, Threat Management, Security Operations, Product Security, Governance, Risk & Compliance, Network Security, Cloud Security, and Emerging Technologies. This position translates strategy into execution, aligns stakeholders around shared outcomes, manages risks and dependencies, and promotes predictable, transparent delivery. It partners with cybersecurity leaders, architects, engineers, product teams, vendors, executives, and business stakeholders across technical and business teams. Success includes achieving intended cybersecurity outcomes such as risk reduction, control coverage, remediation, adoption, resilience, and capability maturity—not only delivering scope on time and within budget. The position is remote, with occasional travel to Humana offices for training or meetings. Home or hybrid home/office employees must have internet service with at least 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload speeds, and work from a dedicated space that protects member PHI/HIPAA information. The scheduled workweek is 40 hours. The stated annual base-pay range is $104,000–$143,000, with eligibility for a bonus incentive plan based on company and/or individual performance.
