About the Role

Lead the security program for a public, multi-site organization in a regulated environment. This hands-on, individual-contributor role involves implementing technical controls and defining policies, partnering with the MSP, vCISO, IT, and Legal to set and execute technical direction.

Responsibilities

Drive the technical cybersecurity strategy and roadmap; report security posture and material risk to senior leadership.
Design, configure, and maintain hands-on controls across network, endpoint, identity, and cloud (firewall rules, segmentation, VPNs, IDS/IPS, EDR, MFA).
Develop and maintain security policies aligned to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS and to regulatory requirements, ensuring controls actually enforce them.
Manage and tune the security stack (SIEM, EDR, email security); build detection rules, alerts, and dashboards.
Lead incident response end to end and drive risk-based vulnerability and patch management to closure across infrastructure, endpoints, and cloud.
Own the controls framework and third-party/vendor risk program, coordinating with internal audit/GRC and the legal team.
Collaborate with MSP and vCISO (managing scope, SLAs, escalation) while keeping core decisions in-house.
Harden identity infrastructure (AD/Entra ID) and run the security awareness program across sites.

Requirements

7+ years across IT and cybersecurity, including a hands-on technical foundation.
3+ years driving a security program as a senior individual contributor.
Proven ability to both implement technical controls and author the policies and governance behind them.
Experience securing a public and/or regulated, multi-site environment (e.g., SOX, FINRA, FAA), including audit and control ownership.
Command of NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS, and SOX/ITGC, with experience owning control evidence through external audits.
Strong cloud (Azure and/or AWS) and enterprise network security—firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, and IDS/IPS.
Hands-on with SIEM (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel) and endpoint protection (e.g., SentinelOne), plus scripting (PowerShell and/or Python) and identity hardening (AD/Entra ID).
