Caregenix Solutions is a healthcare technology company modernizing its security infrastructure against fast-moving, AI-driven cyber threats. We are transitioning our security department from manual threat defense to an automated, compliant, and metrics-driven operational model — and we need a strategic leader to architect and own that transformation.

Role

Summary:

As Senior Cybersecurity Team Lead, you will take full ownership of Caregenix's security operations. You will lead the shift away from manual, resource-heavy monitoring toward automated defense — deploying AI-driven platforms, establishing a formal on-call escalation model, and ensuring rigorous GRC compliance across all operations. You will have executive sponsorship and the budget to build something that lasts.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership

Define and track department KPIs, actionable metrics, and formal executive reporting.

Translate highly technical threat data into clear, objective business reports for senior management.

Build a security culture focused on measurable outcomes, not activity theatre.

AI & Automation Integration

Lead deployment and management of AI-driven security platforms (e.g., Cortex XSIAM).

Automate detection, response, and escalation workflows by severity — reducing manual intervention loops.

Operational Efficiency

Design and manage an On-Call Security Officer rotation model for critical alert escalation.

Eliminate the need for an inefficient, manually staffed 24/7 SOC by replacing it with structured triage automation.

GRC & Compliance

Ensure all security operations align with corporate Workforce policies and GRC guidelines.

Own ISO 27001 compliance maintenance and audit readiness end-to-end.

Network Defense Management

Oversee firewall configurations and enforce strict network isolation protocols.

Ensure no unauthorized public traffic or IP whitelisting occurs outside formal approval channels.

Team Leadership & Accountability

Manage, mentor, and build accountability within the security team.

Ensure every team task maps directly to a measurable security improvement
