What you'll do

In this role, you'll take ownership of Truliant's security architecture and help ensure security is thoughtfully built into IT projects, systems, and day-to-day decisions.

• Partner with IT teams, business units, and external partners to integrate security, communicate risk clearly, support audits and compliance, and build employee security awareness.

Beyond that, you'll help Truliant strengthen its security posture by improving risk management practices, maintaining incident response plans, reviewing security information, and keeping our approach aligned with evolving technologies, threats, and regulatory requirements.
