Global Security Director

An opportunity for a Global IT Security Director to join a multi‑$B global technology innovator at a genuinely interesting moment: newly independent, publicly listed, and with serious M&A growth ambitions.

Veralto (, NYSE: VLTO) is a $5.5B annual sales revenue global leader in essential technology solutions, comprising a portfolio of mature businesses. We provide real resources and global reach while remaining focused enough that what you do here genuinely matters.

Planned further M&A activity will expand responsibilities and the role.

The role will also collaborate closely with security architecture and engineering, security operations and incident response, vulnerability and exposure management, application & product security, cloud and data security. As a senior leader you will set direction, remove obstacles, develop talent, proactively identify and mitigate risks, and ensure delivery of key outcomes through clear priorities, metrics, and stakeholder alignment.
