Description

  • Own the end-to-end defensive architecture across the Cyber Defense organization.
  • Drive cross-team architecture decisions across identity, endpoint, SaaS, telemetry, response readiness, validation, and risk reduction.
  • Identify control gaps, overlaps, weak handoffs, and systemic friction across security teams.
  • Lead multi-team security initiatives that require coordination, sequencing, and executive visibility.
  • Support group-level prioritization and help leadership determine what should be done first, next, or not at all.
  • Create executive-ready security narratives that translate technical work into business risk, progress, tradeoffs, and outcomes.
  • Develop KPI and measurement frameworks that reflect security impact rather than raw activity.
  • Improve the operating model, including ownership boundaries, team interfaces, escalation paths, and dependency management.
  • Turn offensive findings and operational lessons into durable architectural improvements across the group.
  • Help shape strategic initiatives for the Head of Cyber Defense.

Requirements

  • Senior security architect or staff-level technical leader with strong systems thinking and broad defensive security depth.
  • Experience in one or more of: corporate security engineering, detection and response, security architecture, offensive security, enterprise security, or cross-functional cyber defense leadership.
  • Experience leading complex technical initiatives across organizational boundaries.
  • Ability to identify patterns, dependencies, and architectural weaknesses across large security programs.
  • Strong at translating technical complexity into clear priorities, frameworks, and executive-facing recommendations.
  • Comfortable influencing without formal authority and building trust across managers, engineers, and stakeholders.
  • Pragmatic, structured, and effective in ambiguous environments where ownership and sequencing need to be clarified.
  • Strong writer and communicator who can shape both technical direction and leadership understanding.
  • Motivated by building leverage for an entire security organization rather than owning a narrow technical domain.
  • Preferred: experience across multiple security disciplines, high-growth global SaaS, KPI frameworks, operating models, identity-first security, zero-trust, SaaS risk, endpoint security, telemetry pipelines, validation-led improvement loops, or AI/distributed-workforce risk.
