  • Hands-on experience remediating security assessment findings, including penetration test vulnerabilities.
  • Working knowledge of ICS/OT security environments (e.g., SCADA systems) and manufacturing technology.
  • Practical experience with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST CSF.
  • Demonstrated ability to build, operationalize, and enforce security policies, controls, and standards.
  • Experience with business continuity planning, disaster recovery, and operational resilience metrics.
  • Familiarity with secure architecture design for ERP systems, cloud platforms, and modern IT stacks.
  • Strong communication skills with ability to engage technical teams, business stakeholders, and executive leadership.
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, complex environments with shifting priorities and evolving organizational needs.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related field.
