[Hiring] Director of Cybersecurity Programs and Sector Engagement @NGO Information Sharing and Analysis Center Inc.

Role Description

NGO-ISAC is hiring a leader to build and run its cybersecurity programs and sector engagement work. Much of this function is still being built, and the person in this role will design it. They will set the direction for threat intelligence sharing and collective defense, create the programs and resources that raise members' security maturity, and represent NGO-ISAC across government, industry, and the wider cybersecurity community. The stakes are direct: when a nonprofit or a newsroom is compromised, people can be surveilled or detained. This role builds the programs that help members prevent and recover from those attacks.

This is a senior role with real ownership and the authority to act on it, accountable to NGO-ISAC's budget, strategy, and shared leadership. It suits a confident expert who collaborates well, respects what others know, and stays open to feedback.

This role is fully remote within the United States. We prefer candidates on the East Coast for time-zone overlap and the occasional in-person event; travel required.

This role owns what NGO-ISAC produces: curriculum, intelligence products, technical content, and its accuracy. Membership owns the member transaction: who joins, who renews, what they pay, and what the record says. Community & Partnerships owns the member relationship: engagement, convening, and peer community. It also owns partnerships, from peer organizations through commercial and technology partners; this role assesses the technical fit of technology partners. All three functions serve the same organizations through different work.

Qualifications

• 8 or more years in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or information security.
• Experience in collaborative security settings such as ISACs, government partnerships, nonprofits, or multi-organization efforts.
• A record of turning security expertise into working programs or services.
• Strong grasp of the current threat environment.
• Experience coordinating security work across multiple organizations.
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience leading teams or programs.

Requirements

• Experience with nonprofits, humanitarian organizations, or civil society groups.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or ISO 27001.
• Familiarity with Traffic Light Protocol, MITRE ATT&CK, or open-source intelligence.
• Certifications such as CISSP, GCTI, or CEH.
• A degree in information technology, cybersecurity, management, or a related field.
• Experience with threat intelligence or information-sharing programs.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, with FSA options.
• Unlimited paid time off.
• Contributions to a 403(b) for retirement.
• Funding for professional development.
• Qualifying employment toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
• Wellness benefits.
