• 4+ years of demonstrated experience designing and implementing OT/ICS security architectures and controls using tools such as Claroty, Palo Alto, Cradlepoint, CrowdStrike, BeyondTrust PRA, and familiarity with Cisco, ServiceNow, Splunk, and TxOne.
• Limited immigration sponsorship may be available
• Ability to travel up to 50%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve.

Preferred:

• Advanced degree preferred.
• Professional certifications such as GICSP, CISSP, CISM, ISA/IEC 62443, or equivalent.
• Strong knowledge of OT/ICS protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, OPC, Profibus), network architectures, and common vulnerabilities.
• Experience with cloud-based OT/ICS security solutions and IT/OT convergence initiatives.
• Experience with OT/ICS cybersecurity technologies for asset discovery, vulnerability management, network monitoring, endpoint protection, and privileged access management.
• Familiarity with industry standards and frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-82, IEC 62443, NERC CIP).
• Experience conducting risk assessments, vulnerability management, and incident response in OT environments.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated leadership in project delivery and client engagement.
• Prior consulting experience with a focus on critical infrastructure or industrial sectors.
• Experience developing and delivering OT/ICS cybersecurity training programs.
