This global research company is looking for their first internal security hire. They have internal infrastructure folks and MSSPs managing their security, but they want to bring some of it in-house and get out of reactionary security. They are a highly stable company who wants a technical decision maker who can mitigate risks, build out the security team, and further establish their tool set. This is a highly autonomous, impactful role that is equally technical and collaborative. The role is full-time/permanent and hybrid just outside of Trenton, NJ, so only local caniddates will be considered.
Ideal candidates will come from a small or mid-size company and be the highest point of contact for security. Someone highly technical within the SecOps and Risk spaces who can also help steer the ship will fit in perfectly. The role is split 50/50 between hands-on keyboard and high-level strategy. This person will also be responsible for designing the risk and compliance frameworks and advancing the GRC program as a whole. This will not be a good fit for a CISO who isn’t hands-on keyboard frequently.
Required Skills & Experience

  • 8-10 years of professional experience in cyber security
    • Most senior security engineer/highest escalation point
    • Heavy technical experience in SecOps and security engineering (SIEM, incident response, vulnerability management, EDR, DLP, etc.)
    • Knowledge of compliance frameworks and risk strategies
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience working in highly collaborative environments with other IT professionals
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Experience building a cyber security program from the ground up
    • Selecting tech stack, deciding where to use third party services/MSPs, creating and implementing incident response plans, etc.
  • Knowledge of NIST, ISO, and SOX compliance
