• Drive governance initiatives that support regulatory and audit requirements.

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

• Strong background in Security Operations, Cybersecurity Engineering, or Security Architecture.
• Experience implementing security controls across cloud, hybrid, and enterprise environments.
• Expertise in security automation, orchestration, monitoring, and incident response.
• Experience with identity and access management technologies and governance frameworks.
• Hands‑on knowledge of vulnerability management and application security practices.
• Experience integrating multiple security platforms into a unified operational model.
• Strong understanding of secure software development lifecycle practices.

Ideal Qualifications

• Deep experience with Workday Security Administration and Security Architecture.
• Experience with IAM, IGA, PAM, SSO, and identity lifecycle management solutions.
• Knowledge of SAML, OAuth, and federation technologies.
• Familiarity with governance and compliance frameworks including NIST, HITRUST, FINRA, and regulated enterprise environments.
• Background developing security automation, custom security tooling, or detection engineering capabilities.
• Experience leveraging AI and machine learning technologies to enhance cybersecurity operations.

What Makes This Opportunity Special

• Influence enterprise‑wide security strategy.
• Drive cutting‑edge automation and AI‑enabled security initiatives.
• Work with modern cloud, identity, and security technologies.
• Collaborate with highly skilled engineering and leadership teams.
• Build solutions that protect critical systems and sensitive data at scale.
