Job Description
Join our team as the Director of Cybersecurity, where you will lead a global team of security engineers and set the direction for our technical security programs. You will partner with the CISO and other senior teammates to define and execute the organization's cyber security strategy, roadmap, and operating model. This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced security practitioner who will work closely with engineering and infrastructure partners to keep our systems and people secure.
- Partner with the CISO and other senior teammates to define and execute the organization’s cyber security strategy, roadmap, and operating model.
- Lead, mentor, and support a global team of security engineers across multiple disciplines, including incident response, vulnerability management, identity and access management and application security.
- Own the day-to-day operations of the security program — including threat detection and response, vulnerability management, and endpoint security.
- Demonstrated success building or maturing security programs in a complex, technology-driven environment
- 10 or more years of progressive experience in cybersecurity or a closely related field, including significant people-leadership experience
- Experience developing meaningful security metrics and reporting progress to senior leadership
- Strong technical skills in endpoint and server operating systems (especially Linux), computer networking, firewalls, and Kubernetes
- The capacity to thrive in a hybrid working model, including the ability to attend the Concord office at least 3 days a week
- Strong experience across multiple security domains — such as security operations, incident response, vulnerability management, IAM, cloud security, application security, or security architecture
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical risk clearly to executives, engineers, and business partners
- Curiosity about emerging technologies, including how AI and automation can improve security operations
- A degree in a relevant field is welcome; equivalent experience, training, or transferable skills are equally valued
- General understanding of security and compliance frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS, SOC 2, PCI-DSS)
