+ Engage with vendors and external partners to evaluate solutions, negotiate contracts, and represent the firm in technical forums.

+ Drive maturity of infrastructure security practices across cloud platforms (Azure, OCI, AWS, GCP) and on‑premises environments.

What Experience You'll Need:

+ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent work experience.

+ 10+ years of experience in infrastructure security architecture within a complex, matrixed organization.

+ Deep understanding of infrastructure security domains including network security, endpoint protection, identity and access management, servers and containerization, applications, and cloud security, including encryption, key management, and certificate-based controls.

+ Experience designing and implementing secure infrastructure architectures across hybrid cloud environments.

+ Experience defining or applying enterprise encryption standards, including data-at-rest, data-in-transit, and key lifecycle management requirements.

+ Extensive experience in securing endpoint devices (e.g., laptops, mobile devices, servers) through technologies such as EDR/XDR, antivirus, device hardening, and policy enforcement.

+ Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).

+ Strong knowledge of security tooling such as SIEM, vulnerability management, configuration management, and cloud-native security services.

+ Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence technical direction at the enterprise level.

+ Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to build trust and credibility across technical and business teams.

+ Ability to assess and integrate proposed standards and technologies across interdependent systems.

+ Demonstrated experience in risk management and incident response within infrastructure environments.

What Could Set You Apart:

+ Relevant security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, advanced network vendor certifications, ISC2 certifications, or SANS certifications

+ Experience supporting advanced encryption solutions, certificate management, and post-quantum readiness

+ Experience securing AI/ML systems, including model governance, data pipeline protection, and secure deployment strategies
