  • Implement and maintain data protection controls, including data classification, encryption, and DLP.

    • Security Awareness Training & Culture

  • Develop and deliver security awareness training to employees at all levels.
  • Foster a security‑conscious culture across the organization.

    • Security Vendor Management

  • Oversee the selection, evaluation, and management of security vendors and tools (e.g., SIEM, EDR, IAM, DLP, SOAR, cloud security platforms).
  • Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and performance to ensure optimal support for security operations.
  • Engage with external security communities and establish the organization’s thought leadership.

    • Team Leadership & Development

  • Leverage Encore Core Fundamentals to lead, coach, and develop a team of security professionals.
  • Set clear goals, provide ongoing feedback, and offer professional development opportunities.
  • Benchmark and measure program and team maturity to drive a roadmap of continuous security and professional development.

    • Qualifications
