• Own ISRM's strategic narrative by developing and maintaining strategy documentation, executive communications, and leadership presentations that clearly articulate direction and value to stakeholders and partners. 
• Lead the process of translating ISRM's strategic priorities into annual planning inputs, including LRP and capital planning submissions, ensuring investment rationale is clearly tied to execution roadmaps. 
• Own and mature ISRM's data lake and reporting platforms, ensuring they deliver consistent, accurate, and timely data to support leadership decision-making. 
• Own and mature the semi-annual cyber business review process, delivering periodic cybersecurity performance reporting to business executives. 
• Track ISRM's security maturity progress against frameworks such as NIST CSF, ensuring assessment results are reflected in strategic priorities, roadmap inputs, and remediation planning. 

Required:

• Bachelor's Degree and 9 years of experience; OR Master's Degree and 8 years of experience; OR PhD and 4 years of experience. 
• Respective years of relevant technical security roles (e.g., security architecture, security engineering, cyber defense). 
• 4+ years of leadership experience, including direct management of senior individual contributors in technical or analytical functions. 
• Demonstrated experience in information security strategy, security program leadership, or security transformation within a large, complex organization. 
• Strong experience developing and/or maintaining complex, cross-functional reporting targeted at executive leadership. 
• Exceptional executive communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with demonstrated ability to present and influence at the CISO and senior leadership level. 
• Exceptional written communication skills, with demonstrated experience producing both executive-level security reporting and strategic documents (roadmaps, decision papers, governance narratives) that inform and influence senior leadership. 
• Strong working knowledge of corporate security domains (e.g., security architecture, AppSec, security operations, GRC, TPRM) and the ability to build trust with the leaders of those programs. 
• Experience with security maturity frameworks such as NIST CSF, including translating findings into strategic priorities and remediation plans. 

Preferred:

• 6+ years in relevant technical security roles (e.g., security architecture, security engineering, cyber defense). 
• Experience in a security strategy, chief-of-staff, transformation, or metrics leadership role. 
• Hands-on experience with software development, data engineering, or security engineering.
