About The Position

The Cybersecurity Project Manager at Consensus Cloud Solutions plays a pivotal role in orchestrating complex security initiatives across our global infrastructure. As a core member of the Technical Project Management (TPM) team, you will report directly through the PMO while maintaining a dotted-line responsibility to the Information Security (Infosec) leadership. This dual alignment ensures that security projects remain synchronized with both technical delivery standards and the company's overarching risk posture. You will serve as the primary bridge between cross-functional departments, translating high-level security requirements into actionable project timelines and deliverables. To ensure comprehensive protection, you will collaborate closely with the Global Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team to track audit readiness and policy adherence. Simultaneously, you will partner with the Global Cybersecurity Operations and Engineering team to drive the implementation of advanced defense tools and incident response enhancements. Your expertise will be vital in navigating resource allocation and technical dependencies to maintain the integrity of our cloud-based solutions. By managing the full project lifecycle, you will proactively identify potential bottlenecks and ensure that security remains a foundational element of every business objective. Ultimately, this role is essential for fostering a culture of security excellence and operational resilience throughout the entire organization.

Requirements

5+ years experience leading technical projects, with a significant portion of that time focused specifically on information security or cloud infrastructure.
Possess a deep understanding of Agile and Scrum methodologies, allowing you to manage security sprints and adapt to rapidly changing priorities.
Proficiency in Waterfall project management is required for long-term infrastructure deployments that require rigid sequencing and fixed milestones.
Skilled in Kanban workflows to visualize security operations tasks and optimize the flow of work for the Engineering team.
Experience with Lean Six Sigma principles is highly valued for streamlining complex security processes and eliminating operational waste.
Adept at Critical Path Method (CPM) analysis to identify the most efficient timeline for high-stakes security remediation projects.
A strong grasp of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is essential for integrating security checkpoints into the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
Competent in Resource Capacity Planning to ensure the Infosec team is not over-leveraged across multiple global initiatives.
Knowledge of Change Management frameworks is vital to ensure that security updates do not disrupt the production environment of our SaaS products.
Demonstrate advanced proficiency in Jira, specifically in creating custom workflows, boards, and automation rules for security tracking.
Highly skilled in using Google Sheets for complex data manipulation, pivot tables, and real-time project financial tracking.
Expertise in Google Docs and Slides is necessary for drafting high-quality executive summaries and security posture presentations.
Comfortable navigating configuration dashboards, such as the Amazon Web Services (AWS) console, which aggregates key metrics, logs, and data from various AWS services (e.g., CloudWatch) to track the status of infrastructure-based security projects.
Familiarity with Vulnerability Management tools (e.g., Tenable, Qualys) is important for understanding the technical data generated by the Operations team.
Experience using Slack for real-time incident coordination and cross-departmental project communication is essential.
Foundational understanding of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) to better manage projects related to cloud misconfigurations.
A working knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM) protocols, such as SAML and OAuth, is required to manage authentication initiatives.
Understand the technical requirements of Zero Trust Architecture to effectively lead the transition toward a perimeter-less security model.
Partner with Platform and DevOps TPMs to weave security tasks into existing backlogs, ensuring alignment on shared engineering capacity and priorities.
Maintain a high-velocity cadence focused on reducing Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) and aggressively unblocking technical stalls.
Break complex mandates into "Minimum Viable Controls" to deliver immediate risk reduction while long-term architecture is finalized.
Drive momentum in ambiguous situations by identifying and executing the immediate 10% of work that moves the needle forward today.
Specialized training in Agile/Scrum (e.g., CSM or PMI-ACP) is beneficial given the fast-paced nature of SaaS delivery cycles and sprint-based security remediations.
Demonstrate a history of training in Global Compliance standards, such as SOC 2, GDPR, or HIPAA, to support our GRC team’s objectives effectively.
Familiarity with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) or ISO 27001, gained through formal training or practical application, is essential.
Prior experience or certification in Cloud Security (e.g., CCSP or AWS Certified Security) will be a major differentiator, ensuring you can manage technical dependencies within our cloud-based ecosystem.
