Role Overview

The Information Security Director – Cloud Security Engineering & Operations is responsible for the engineering, operation, and continuous improvement of cloud security technologies that protect enterprise cloud platforms, workloads, and data.

This role owns the end-to-end cloud security control platforms, translating enterprise security strategy into effective, scalable, and compliant solutions.

The Director partners closely with technology, risk, and business leaders to manage cyber risk, support cloud, AI, and AI/ML workload adoption, and ensure regulatory alignment, while leading and developing a high-performing Cloud Security Engineering & Operations team.

• Enable secure adoption of cloud-native and AI capabilities by partnering early with architecture and engineering teams.
• Partner with Incident Response teams to enhance detection, investigation, and recovery capabilities for cloud-based threats.
• Establish and track operational, risk, and performance metrics for cloud security technologies.
• Collaborate with technology, risk, and business partners to align cloud security controls with enterprise objectives.
• Ensure alignment with regulatory, compliance, and enterprise risk management requirements.
• Attract, develop, and retain senior cloud security engineering and operations talent.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in information security, cloud security, or technology risk.
• 5+ years of people leadership experience in technical engineering or operations environments.
• Experience securing enterprise-scale cloud environments, including AI/ML workloads.
• Hands-on technical experience with networks, operating systems, applications, and broader information technology architectures.
• Experience with DevSecOps, automation, and infrastructure as code.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree and/or relevant security certifications (CISSP, CISM, CISA, CCSP).
• Experience with AWS, Azure, and GCP security platforms.
• Knowledge of industry security frameworks and models, including NIST, MITRE ATT&CK®, and MITRE ATLAS™.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements in regulated industries; financial services experience is a plus.
