  • Develop and manage information security budgets and adopt cost-effective expense strategies and practices - to reduce and mitigate identified risks.
  • Establish and oversee the implementation of a cybersecurity incident management program that includes incident detection, response, mitigation, and recovery processes.
  • Effectively align cybersecurity practices with overall crisis management and incident response strategies, test plans and tabletop exercises - to ensure business continuity for Wolfspeed in the event of a worst-case disaster scenario, whether or not triggered by a security incident.
  • Liaise with external agencies, such as law enforcement and other advisory bodies as necessary, to ensure that the organization maintains a strong security posture against external threats.
  • Conduct regular security audits, risk assessments, support annual financial and IT audit objectives, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements specific to the semiconductor industry.
  • Champion cybersecurity awareness and training programs globally, across all levels of the organization.

Ideal Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Professional security management certification, such as a CISSP, CISM, or similar.
  • 15+ years of experience in a combination of risk management, information security, and IT jobs, with at least 10 years in a senior leadership role.
  • Experience with NIST (800-171) and ISO (27001) frameworks
  • Experience with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) for USGOV
  • Deep understanding of the evolving cybersecurity threats facing the semiconductor industry and experience in crafting strategies to mitigate these risks.
  • Knowledge of relevant legal and regulatory requirements, including export controls
  • Experience with contract and vendor negotiations and management including managed services.
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to work effectively with business managers, IT engineering and IT operations staff, Wolfspeed's vendors and suppliers.
