Lead Cybersecurity Engineer

We’re partnering with a well-established organization that’s looking for a hands‑on cybersecurity leader to take ownership of its security initiatives and help mature an already solid security program.

This isn’t a compliance-heavy or governance-only position. They’re looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, securing Microsoft environments, owning enterprise security platforms, and continuously improving the organization’s security posture.

The ideal path will have been someone from Systems Administrator/Engineer Engineer → Security Engineer → Cybersecurity Lead/Manager.

We anticipate this position being 80% hands‑on (Lead individual contributor), 20% leadership/management. We are looking for both tactical work and strategic contribution to building a security program.

• Lead cybersecurity initiatives across the enterprise
• Own security tooling, vulnerability management, and incident response
• Partner with executive leadership to prioritize security projects
• Mentor a junior security analyst and manage external security vendors
• Help evolve and strengthen an existing security program
• Contribute to Systems Admin and Engineering tasks as needed, in collaboration with other Engineers

• Security experience with tools such as Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Purview, Rapid7, etc
• Experience securing enterprise environments
• Hands‑on cybersecurity engineering or security operations experience
• Comfortable balancing security with some infrastructure responsibilities
• Familiarity with NIST and enterprise security best practices

• High visibility with executive leadership
• Opportunity to shape the future direction of cybersecurity
