Position Summary:

The Enterprise Security Engineering Lead - Will serve as the primary technical and strategic lead for securing Freeman's AWS cloud environment as part of the company's broader cloud migration. This role will ensure the design and implementation of secure cloud architectures, the migration of workloads from Azure and on-premise environments into AWS, and the development of security controls to support ongoing scalability, resilience, and compliance.

Operating within the IT Security department, this role bridges hands-on technical with strategic oversight - defining enterprise guardrails and ensuring security is embedded in every stage of cloud design and deployment.

Key Responsibilities:

Leadership & Strategy:

• Serve as the technical IT Security lead overseeing the buildout of Freeman's AWS tenant, establishing a secure and scalable foundation for enterprise workloads.

• Define the cloud security architecture roadmap in alignment with IT Security's long-term vision, compliance goals, and the company's hybrid cloud strategy.

• Participate in cross-functional collaboration with Infrastructure, Enterprise Architecture, and Compliance teams to ensure all cloud and migration efforts meet security and regulatory requirements.

Cloud Security Architecture & Engineering:

• Design and ensure implementation of AWS security configurations and controls that align with NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, and ISO 27001.

• Architect and maintain secure identity and access management (IAM) structures, encryption standards, and network segmentation for AWS workloads.

• Ensure secure migration of workloads and data from Azure and on-premise environments into AWS, ensuring consistent governance and compliance.

• Ensure security automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Cloud Formation) guardrails are embedded to enforce baseline configurations and detect drift.

• Collaborate with Dev Ops to integrate security scanning and validation into CI/CD pipelines.

Governance, Risk, & Compliance:

• Ensure all AWS security configurations align with Freeman's compliance obligations (SOC 2, PCI, NIST CSF).

• Oversee the implementation of AWS-native security services such as Guard Duty, Security Hub, Config, and Cloud Trail for continuous visibility and assurance.

• Support internal and external audit readiness by maintaining evidence, documentation, and testing of cloud controls.

• Partner with Risk and GRC teams to translate compliance requirements into actionable technical controls.

Monitoring & Incident Response Integration:

• Work with the SOC team to design and tune detection rules, log pipelines, and automated response playbooks for AWS environments.

• Lead cloud-related incident investigations and coordinate remediation efforts across teams.

• Continuously evaluate new AWS security capabilities and third-party tools to enhance detection, response, and prevention capabilities.

Collaboration & Enablement:

• Partner with Infrastructure and Application teams to embed security early in project design and delivery.

• Develop and maintain enterprise documentation including cloud security standards, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks.

• Provide technical leadership in design reviews, risk assessments, and vendor evaluations related to cloud security solutions.
