Security Engineering Manager - Global Enterprise

We are seeking a detailed and results-oriented leader to join our global Information Technology team as a Security Engineering Manager. This role is critical to the success of our cybersecurity program, with responsibility for leadership, strategy, and execution of security engineering services and our cybersecurity tool stack.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the vision, strategy, and roadmap for security architecture and engineering across the enterprise, leveraging leading frameworks such as NIST and implementing Zero Trust principles for robust perimeter-less security.
  • Partner with cross-functional and platform teams to embed security-by-design, least privilege, and defense-in-depth principles into solutions and the development lifecycle, ensuring integration of SAST and DAST tools for continuous secure code reviews and vulnerability detection.
  • Oversee the delivery, integration, and optimization of the enterprise security architecture and tool stack, including next-generation SIEM platforms and technologies such as Splunk for real-time threat monitoring and advanced analytics.
  • Champion and automate incident response and security operations using SOAR solutions to streamline threat detection, remediation workflows, and playbook execution.
  • Drive continuous improvement of security processes, governance, methodologies, and tools, emphasizing cloud-native protections and best practices for AWS environments.
  • Translate business risks into scalable, practical security solutions that exceed policy mandates and regulatory requirements, leveraging insights from SIEM and SOAR data.
  • Recruit, coach, and scale a high-performing team of security engineers, providing both strategic and tactical oversight in modern enterprise environments.
  • Leverage data-driven approaches and security KPIs-sourced from SIEM/Splunk, code analysis reports, automated SOAR outputs, and AWS metrics-to monitor and strengthen organizational security posture.

What Will Set You Apart

  • Passion for cybersecurity and solving complex problems using innovative techniques and modern automation (SOAR, Zero Trust, cloud security).
  • Proven track record in designing and implementing secure architectures for enterprise applications, networks, security platforms, and AWS cloud deployments.
  • Expertise in integrating and managing SIEM technologies, specifically Splunk, for monitoring, dashboarding, and advanced threat analytics.
  • Advanced knowledge of NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), securing cloud environments (AWS), and experience implementing Zero Trust architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with secure code analysis tools and methodologies, including SAST and DAST, and integrating these into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Advanced experience with DevSecOps practices, automating security workflows using SOAR platforms, and embedding security in agile development lifecycles.
  • Strong communication skills for breaking down complex technical concepts, threat intelligence, and incident reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Deep understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements (PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX), threat modeling, and defending against advanced persistent threat groups.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering innovative security solutions, including SIEM (e.g., Splunk), AWS cloud, and security automation (SOAR).
  • 3+ years leading security engineering/operational teams with demonstrated success integrating security tooling such as SAST, DAST, and SIEM.
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally, communicating risks, supporting a Zero Trust approach, and setting security priorities informed by frameworks like NIST.
  • Demonstrated commitment to high ethical standards, regulatory compliance, and business integrity across hybrid/multicloud environments.
