About the Role
We are seeking an experienced security technology leader who combines strategic thinking with strong technical execution. This role is responsible for defining and driving the enterprise security technology strategy, identifying capability gaps, evaluating emerging technologies, and delivering solutions that strengthen the organization's security posture. Success requires assessing security capabilities, identifying gaps, and developing practical solutions through technology optimization, platform integration, automation, and targeted engineering efforts.
Responsibilities
- Define and lead the enterprise security technology strategy and roadmap.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of existing security capabilities and identify opportunities to improve coverage, efficiency, and resilience.
- Drive technology selection, integration, and optimization across the security ecosystem.
- Design and develop custom security solutions, automation, integrations, and AI-enabled capabilities where commercial products do not adequately meet business or security requirements.
- Establish a practical build-versus-buy strategy and lead implementation efforts when custom development is the preferred approach.
- Lead initiatives that leverage AI to enhance security operations, threat detection, security analytics, and exposure management.
- Establish and evolve security controls, governance, and operational practices that support enterprise AI and agentic systems.
- Partner with Security Architecture, Cyber Defense, Security Platform Operations, IT, and GRC teams to deliver scalable security capabilities.
- Translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights and recommendations for leadership and key stakeholders.
Requirements
- Proven experience leading security engineering programs, security platform strategy, or enterprise security technology initiatives.
- Demonstrated track record of designing and building custom security solutions that delivered measurable operational or risk-reduction outcomes.
- Strong software engineering and automation experience, including development of security applications, integrations, workflows, data pipelines, analytics platforms, or AI-powered capabilities.
- Demonstrated experience building solutions that leverage security telemetry, operational data, and analytics to generate actionable insights, enhance detection and response capabilities, and enable data-informed security decisions.
- Proven ability to define security technology roadmaps and drive implementation from concept through operational adoption.
- Experience operating within large, complex, or rapidly evolving enterprise environments.
- Practical experience applying AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics to security use cases.
- Familiarity with securing AI platforms, models, agents, and supporting infrastructure.
- Experience working with security telemetry, data pipelines, analytics platforms, or security data engineering.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with security architects and engineering teams to translate strategy into implementation.
