  • 8 years or more of experience leading large-scale cybersecurity architecture, engineering, security operations, or technology transformation functions in complex, global environments, with at least 8 years of cybersecurity experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale cloud security architectures across AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform environments.
  • Deep expertise in cloud security, security architecture, network security, identity and access management, data protection, encryption, and infrastructure security.
  • Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, containers, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • Experience developing enterprise security standards, governance frameworks, architecture patterns, and secure-by-design practices.
  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, Azure Solutions Architect, TOGAF, SABSA, or equivalent certifications are highly desirable.
  • Experience within financial services or other highly regulated industries is preferred.

Additional Requirements
  • Experience supporting enterprise cloud migration and modernization initiatives.
