Position Summary 

The Manager, Cyber Security Systems and Controls is responsible for leading the strategy, design, and execution of cybersecurity systems, controls, and risk management across a global, multi country environment. This role requires direct international cybersecurity experience, including securing systems across regions, navigating country specific regulations, and addressing cross border cyber risks.

The ideal candidate is a proactive problem solver who can identify vulnerabilities, perform root cause analysis, and drive cybersecurity solutions from discovery through resolution in complex, international operating environments.

Responsibilities 

• Develop, implement, and maintain a scalable global cybersecurity strategy aligned with business objectives and international regulatory requirements.

• Lead cybersecurity operations and governance across international locations, ensuring consistent standards while addressing regional risks and operational differences.

• Apply and enforce cybersecurity frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST, and other relevant global standards across all regions.

• Ensure secure cross‑border data flows and protection of systems supporting international manufacturing and distribution operations.

• Proactively identify cybersecurity risks, vulnerabilities, and control gaps within global systems and processes.

• Lead root‑cause investigations for security incidents, audit findings, compliance gaps, and infrastructure weaknesses.

• Own remediation efforts from identification through execution, validation, and long‑term sustainability.

• Ensure problems are fully resolved—not temporarily mitigated—and that lessons learned are incorporated into standards and processes.

• Partner with infrastructure, applications, and business teams to embed security controls into daily operations and IT projects.

• Review network and infrastructure environments (LAN, WAN, SD‑WAN, MPLS, VPNs, firewalls, cloud and on‑prem systems) from a cybersecurity and resiliency perspective.

• Lead and support disaster recovery and business continuity planning, testing, and readiness across global locations.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on reducing risk, improving detection and response, and strengthening overall security posture.

• Work closely with international IT teams, leadership, and external partners to identify risks and align remediation strategies.

• Establish and manage a global supplier cybersecurity assessment program, including risk evaluation, remediation tracking, and acceptance criteria.

• Lead responses to customer, regulatory, and third‑party security audits, ensuring timely, thorough resolution of findings.

Education and Minimum Qualification

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered. 

• Professional cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CISA, GIAC, or demonstrated progress toward one or more of these credentials strongly preferred. 

• Minimum of 8 years of progressive IT management experience, with increasing responsibility across cybersecurity, infrastructure, or enterprise IT functions. 

• Proven experience developing and enforcing cybersecurity policies and designing security architectures for multi‑site environments; experience supporting organizations with a global footprint is strongly preferred. 

• Broad technical background across multiple infrastructure domains, including servers, networks, endpoints, cybersecurity controls, and both on‑premises and cloud environments. 

• Strong, hands‑on technical expertise with enterprise infrastructure solutions, including MPLS networks, SD‑WAN, firewalls, and secure remote access technologies. 

• Working knowledge of ITIL frameworks and formal project management methodologies, with the ability to apply structured processes to real‑world operations.
