The firm is known for its operationally driven investment approach and maintains a large internal team alongside a network of over 2,000 asset management professionals. ArcLight has a strong track record in renewables and energy transition assets, including solar, battery storage, hydroelectric, and natural gas infrastructure.

About This Position

SkyVest is building out a best-in-class asset management platform to manage and maximize the value of our asset portfolio. We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented individual to join the team as a Manager, Cybersecurity. This role will own the end-to-end enterprise cybersecurity program. This hands-on role works closely with the IT Infrastructure & Network Manager, who owns the underlying infrastructure and networking those controls run on, and is expected to actively support the initial build-out of that infrastructure alongside them, not just operate the security layer once it exists.

This role reports to the Vice President, Information Technology.

Key Responsibilities

Cybersecurity Program

• Own the enterprise cybersecurity program end to end, including identity (IAM, PAM, MFA), endpoint (EDR), detection and response (SIEM, SOAR, incident response), email/web/DNS security, DLP, and vulnerability management.
• Design enterprise security architecture and the Zero Trust roadmap and establish security policies and standards.
• Lead risk assessments, security audits, penetration testing, and remediation, including third party assessments; build cyber resilience and incident recovery capabilities.
• Maintain alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001, and lead any future SOC 2 or similar attestation effort.

Managed Security Services & OT/ICS Platform Governance

• Own the relationship with SkyVest’s managed security services provider, setting scope, reviewing findings, and holding the provider accountable for 24/7 monitoring, SIEM/SOAR administration, and EDR operations across the corporate IT environment.
• Select, deploy, and own an OT/ICS network monitoring platform (Claroty, Dragos, Nozomi, or similar) to provide passive asset inventory, vulnerability visibility, and threat detection across SCADA, ICs, and PLC environments at SkyVest’s generation sites; standard corporate SIEM/SOAR/EDR tooling does not see these devices, so this platform is what actually closes that gap rather than a contract assumption.
• Route the OT platform’s alerts into the same incident response process used for corporate IT, whether triaged internally or by the managed security services provider, so an OT event is never a silent alert nobody owns.
• Where full OT/ICS coverage is not yet deployed across all sites, track the rollout and report remaining gaps to leadership as a named, phased risk rather than an assumed one.
• Partner with the IT Infrastructure & Network Manager and site teams on OT network segmentation, industrial firewalls, and secure OT-to-IT connectivity, including remote access for field technicians and vendors.

Support for IT Infrastructure Build-Out

• Actively support the IT Infrastructure & Network Manager during the initial infrastructure build-out (identity, network, endpoint, and cloud foundations), embedding security requirements into the design rather than reviewing it after the fact.
• Help stand up baseline security controls (MFA, endpoint baselines, logging pipelines) as part of the same build-out effort, ahead of handing steady-state operation of them to the managed security services provider.

Client Management

• Develop the enterprise cybersecurity roadmap and present risk posture to leadership.
• Manage security tooling and managed services vendors and related budget.
• Mentor technical staff on security best practices and support M&A due diligence and integration activities.

Qualifications And Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience including renewable OT environment, including program or team leadership.
• Strong expertise in core security technologies (IAM/MFA, EDR, SIEM, vulnerability management) and Zero Trust principles.
• Experience with Microsoft security tooling: Entra ID, Defender, and related enterprise technologies.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and vendor management skills.
• Comfort selecting, deploying, and managing a security platform through a vendor, without requiring prior hands-on OT/ICS engineering experience personally.

Preferred Background

• Experience in renewable energy, utilities, power generation, or critical infrastructure.
• Direct exposure to an OT/ICS network monitoring platform such as Claroty, Dragos, or Nozomi, as a user, evaluator, or program owner.
• Familiarity with IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and OT/ICS security concepts.
• Relevant certification: CISSP, CISM, or GIAC GICSP (or comparable OT/ICS security certification)

Additional Role Information

• Mostly sedentary work; using standard office equipment including: a computer, keyboard, and telephone
• Position is based in either Houston, TX or Newtown, PA
• Position requires 10-15% travel to other SkyVest and ArcLight offices, as well as to generation assets
• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without that the need for current sponsorship by the Company
