Overview

We’re looking for a new Cybersecurity Manager to own the enterprise’s day-to-day cyber defense — identifying and remediating risk, directing the evaluation of enterprise security tooling, and maintaining a strong security posture across Entra ID/Active Directory, network infrastructure, and endpoint environments. This role also leads the organization’s cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulation program and provides leadership to the cybersecurity team.

What You'll Do

  • Identify, prioritize, and remediate — or manage the remediation of — cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities across the enterprise.
  • Evaluate, recommend, and provide oversight for proposed security solutions, including enterprise vulnerability scanning platforms and endpoint protection products, ensuring selections align with the organization's risk profile and operational needs.
  • Own the full lifecycle of security events — initial awareness and detection, engaging remediation, follow-up validation, and reporting to leadership — acting with urgency to contain, remediate, and recover with minimal business impact.
  • Plan and lead an annual incident response tabletop exercise to test the organization’s readiness to detect, contain, and recover from a security event, and incorporate lessons learned into existing plans and controls.
  • Maintain strong working knowledge of Entra ID/Active Directory and network infrastructure (switches, firewalls, wireless controllers, and related devices) to ensure appropriate protection of passwords, administrative accounts, authentication protocols, and folder/file share permissions.
  • Own and implement security controls across the enterprise, continuously evaluating and recommending new tools — or more effective use of existing tools — to strengthen the organization's defenses.
  • Perform ongoing security monitoring and deliver timely, frequent reporting on the organization's overall security posture to IT leadership.
  • Manage the enterprise-wide cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulation program: select training content and campaigns within the designated training platform, schedule training events, provide daily progress updates during active campaigns, and report final results to stakeholders.
  • Provide leadership and guidance to the cybersecurity team, fostering a collaborative team atmosphere and elevating skills and training to build a strong sense of ownership and accountability for the organization’s security posture.
  • Stay current on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices, applying that knowledge to continuously improve the organization's security program.

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor's degree required (Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or related field preferred).
  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in Information Technology, including at least 3 years in a leadership role with direct or shared responsibility for infrastructure, consistently applying a security-first mindset.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent security initiatives and incidents.
  • Strong people management and mentoring skills.
  • High sense of urgency, ownership, and energy in responding to and resolving security events.
  • Self-motivated and proactive in identifying and recommending new or improved security tools and controls.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to report on security posture clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound judgment under pressure.
