About The Position

Cyderes is looking for an experienced Service Delivery Executive to serve as the dedicated security lead for a strategic energy sector client based in Atlanta. In this dedicated role, you will be the single point of accountability for delivering managed security services. You will oversee our client relationship at the executive level and ensure the program meets commercial and operational expectations. This is a high-visibility position that requires equal parts technical credibility, and program management rigor. You will work with our client's security leadership, including the CISO and senior partners. Additionally, you will coordinate multiple teams that deliver outcomes across SOC operations, threat intelligence, incident response, and technology adoption. You will report to the Vice President of Delivery.

Requirements

Broad working knowledge of cybersecurity domains including SOC operations, SIEM/SOAR platforms, threat intelligence, and incident response.
Demonstrable experience managing or leading service delivery in at least one of these domains.
Solid understanding of software feature development and adoption, with a track record of driving technology engagement in newly deployed environments.
Proven ability to own and grow a strategic client relationship at Director level, acting as the single point of accountability for delivery quality, escalation, and commercial health.
Experience managing cross-functional teams across technical and operational disciplines, driving accountability without direct line authority.
Demonstrated track record of leading client-facing programmes through the full lifecycle: onboarding, steady state, and continuous improvement within a managed services environment.
Confident and polished communicator capable of engaging senior security leadership—CISO, VP, Senior Director level—with credibility and authority.
Ability to translate technical risk into business language that resonates with executive audiences.
Strong relationship-building instincts with the ability to embed as a trusted advisor within a large enterprise client and navigate complex stakeholder environments with discretion.
Commercially astute with sound judgement—able to identify service expansion opportunities, manage difficult conversations, and represent Cyderes' interests while keeping the client relationship front and centre.
