· Oversee implementation of secure identity, access, and infrastructure controls at scale

· Shape the future of our security posture through innovation, influence, and leadership

· Lead security due diligence for vendor assessments, M&A activities, and third-party integrations

· Advocate for a security-first culture through leadership, coaching, and formal training efforts

What you bring to the team:

Required:

· Proven ability to architect secure solutions across enterprise, cloud-native, and hybrid environments

· Expertise in cloud security (AWS preferred), application security, identity and access management, and network defense

· Demonstrated knowledge of industry frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls

· Strong leadership and mentoring skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
