• Help translate cybersecurity assessments and strategic priorities into structured, executable programs.

Qualifications

• Strong program governance, roadmap development, prioritization, risk management, dependency management, and executive reporting skills.
• Experience partnering with cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, application, product, and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.
• Experience with one or more areas such as application security, Secure SDLC, identity, cloud security, vulnerability management, security operations, vendor platforms, OT, or IoT/product security.
• Exceptional communication, facilitation, accountability, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to present clearly and confidently to senior leadership.
• Manufacturing, OT, IoT/product-security, and vendor-transition experience are highly valued but not required as deep specialties.
• PMP, PgMP, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or related credentials are beneficial.

Requirements

• Lead multiple cybersecurity projects and workstreams simultaneously, establishing clear plans, owners, dependencies, milestones, risks, and success measures.
• Help formalize and prioritize an existing cybersecurity roadmap and incorporate recommendations from upcoming enterprise security assessments.
• Coordinate a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment and associated partner-selection/RFP activities.
• Drive security technology and vendor initiatives, which may include MDR platform transitions, identity improvements, and other enterprise security enhancements.
• Coordinate product and application-security initiatives, including cybersecurity assessments and Secure SDLC/control improvements.
• Support OT and connected-product security programs by organizing technical teams, SMEs, stakeholders, and remediation activities.
• Partner with communications and business teams when security changes affect employees or broader organizational processes.
• Provide concise executive updates covering progress, risks, blockers, dependencies, and decisions.
• Hold workstream owners accountable for commitments and ensure issues are escalated and resolved appropriately.
