  • Partner with service desk and engineering teams to remediate risks and enforce security baselines
  • Assist in vendor and tool selection as we scale and standardize


Phase 2: Strategic Growth & Leadership (The Builder)

  • Define and document security standards, baselines, and SOPs
  • Contribute to service packaging, pricing, and go-to-market strategy
  • Establish governance processes and client risk scoring models
  • Hire, mentor, and manage junior security team members over time
  • Represent security initiatives in client QBRs and leadership discussions


Qualifications

  • Experience with endpoint protection (SentinelOne, Defender, Huntress), SIEM tools, firewalls, email security, and patching platforms
  • Strong experience in Microsoft 365 and Azure AD environments
  • Knowledge of compliance frameworks (NIST 800-171, CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, SOC 2)
  • Proven ability to own and execute security projects end-to-end


Preferred Qualifications

  • Certifications such as Security+, CISSP, SSCP, CISA, or Microsoft SC-200
  • Experience with MDR/EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, or security automation (PowerShell, scripting)
  • Experience documenting policies and working with GRC tools
  • Previous experience mentoring or leading technical team members


Soft Skills

  • Entrepreneurial mindset — thrives in a “build mode” environment
  • Strong communicator who can translate technical risk into business impact
  • Detail-oriented with strong documentation and follow-through
  • Growth-driven with a long-term focus on leadership


Job Type: Full-time
