About The Position

The Sr Manager, Cybersecurity leads a specialized function within Lennar's Enterprise Security Office, owning the strategic vision, team leadership, and operational execution for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC). This role builds and develops a high-performing team, partners across Security Engineering, Architecture, the Cyber Fusion Center, Internal Audit, and Legal to reduce enterprise risk, and translates technical risk into clear, executive-level guidance for senior leadership. Cybersecurity at Lennar runs a dual-track career model. The Sr Manager, Cybersecurity sits on the people-leadership track — Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Senior Director — and carries formal responsibility for hiring, developing, and managing a team. This is distinct from the parallel technical individual-contributor track (Security Engineer through Principal Security Engineer), where Staff-level and above are technical leaders who set direction and mentor others without a management title. Both tracks are valued and compensated at comparable levels; this role is for those who want to grow specifically through people leadership.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field; Master's preferred.
8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT risk, or a related discipline, including 3+ years in a formal leadership or people-management capacity.
Proven experience building and leading high-performing, geographically distributed teams.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics for executive and non-technical audiences.
Strong relationship management skills; ability to influence and drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
Demonstrated ability to incorporate AI tools into workflows, work delivery, work organization, and reporting; comfort evaluating and adopting emerging AI-driven capabilities.
In-depth knowledge of standard cyber controls frameworks, including CIS Controls, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53/800-171, CMMC, and SOX IT controls.
Experience managing a third-party/vendor cyber risk management process.

Big 4 IT audit background or experience in a large complex organization is a plus.
