Summary / Purpose of the role
Lead cross-functional cybersecurity initiatives, driving governance, change management, and risk remediation across Security, IT, Engineering, Product, and HR teams. Define program scopes, ownership models, success metrics, and delivery cadences to ensure seamless execution, adoption, and measurable improvements in security posture and operational efficiency.
What you’ll be doing
Design and implement security governance frameworks, such as RACI matrices, work intake-to-remediation workflows, escalation paths, and risk sign-off processes.
Coordinate security transformations involving IT and delivery teams, including SecOps/SOC integration for monitoring intake, triage, and remediation tracking.
Develop and manage security awareness programs, including onboarding training, phishing simulations, reporting workflows, and KPI tracking (e.g., click rates, report rates, completion rates).
Own end-to-end program delivery, from concept to rollout, including backlog prioritization, cross-functional team leadership, and executive presentations for funding and approvals.
Build and maintain cybersecurity service portfolios for customers, process documentation, playbooks, and handover standards to reduce transition times and delivery friction.
Conduct risk assessments for features or projects, collaborate with engineering on mitigations, and validate remediation of findings.
Establish knowledge-sharing practices, such as internal sessions, wikis, and onboarding programs, to support team ramp-up and consistency.
Success metrics
Achieve 20%+ improvements in remediation speed, on-time delivery, and transition times through process optimizations.
Maintain high KPI performance in awareness programs (e.g., reduced phishing click rates, increased reporting rates).
Ensure 100% adoption of governance cadences, with tracked reductions in delivery bottlenecks and manual work (e.g., 40% automation gains).
Complete risk assessments and remediations for 5+ features/projects annually, with zero critical findings post-validation.
What we are looking for
Experience
7+ years in cybersecurity program management, with a focus on governance, change, and cross-functional delivery in IT/security environments.
Proven track record leading security transformations, including client-facing consulting or contracting roles.
Experience managing product/feature backlogs from concept to MVP, including privacy/data protection strategies.
Background in SecOps, risk assessment, remediation tracking, and awareness/phishing programs.
Technical skills
Proficiency with project management and tracking tools (e.g., Jira, YouTrack, Confluence).
Experience with Kanban methodologies, workflow automation, and dashboard/metrics setup.
Familiarity with security requirements (secure-by-design), threat modeling (DFD/data flow), and risk registers.
Proficiency in the Security Operations Center function and security monitoring
Knowledge
In-depth understanding of SecOps/SOC workflows, including intake, triage, escalation, and remediation processes.
Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks and standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2).
Expertise in cross-functional stakeholder management, RACI/ownership clarification, governance cadences, and KPI-driven tracking.
Awareness of offensive security concepts (Red Team, Pentest, OSINT) and service delivery frameworks.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Certifications
Relevant professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGRC, or PMP are highly preferred (or equivalent demonstrated expertise in governance, risk, and program management).
Behavioral (soft) skills
Strong leadership and accountability in driving cross-functional results and getting things done.
Excellent, clear, transparent, and open communication, including presentational skills
