Director of Information Security

Analytic Recruiting Inc

A private family office is seeking an experienced Director of Information Security to manage its technology systems, cloud infrastructure, and data assets, and safeguard the personal cybersecurity of family members. This is the sole IT position, reporting to senior leadership and partnering closely on technology, AI, and cybersecurity strategy. No direct reports; leverage comes through service providers and affiliated staff.

The role spans the family office, its affiliates, and supported charitable entities — hands-on with vendor direction for smaller entities, monitoring/advisory for larger ones. Candidates should be methodical and process-oriented; the office maintains a stringent security posture the Director is expected to champion. Responsibilities ramp gradually as trust is established.

Location: New York, NY (4x/week)

Salary: Up to 250k base + bonus

Responsibilities:

IT Operations

  • Oversee day-to-day technical support from the operations team and vendors
  • Set Microsoft 365 groups, shares, and permissions via the vendor
  • Set and verify endpoint policies (patching, mobile devices, protection)
  • Provide second-tier support for phones, printers, and conference room tech
  • Support finance operations, including GL systems and custodian data feeds
  • Maintain IT policies, SOPs, and documentation
  • Supervise IT/security service providers (contracts, invoicing, SLAs)
  • Serve as technical liaison with affiliates, brokers, and custodians
  • Identify automation/AI opportunities

Infrastructure & Cloud

  • Direct vendor administration of Windows Server/RDS, SQL databases, and M365; verify work
  • Maintain networks; verify backups and recovery
  • Manage domains, DNS, TLS certificates
  • Administer AWS/Azure security aligned with CIS/NIST
  • Secure generative AI platforms (access, data handling, governance)

Cybersecurity Operations

  • Lead vulnerability management and penetration testing
  • Monitor and respond to security events
  • Govern identity/access across AWS and Entra ID; conduct access reviews
  • Manage DLP and data classification
  • Administer email security (anti-phishing, DMARC/DKIM/SPF)
  • Maintain/test incident response and BC plans; lead breach response
  • Support family members' personal cybersecurity; deliver security training
  • Advise on physical security IT components

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years progressive IT experience, including infosec and infrastructure
  • Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, RDS experience
  • Working SQL/relational database knowledge
  • Vulnerability management tools (Tenable, Qualys)
  • Hands-on AWS/Azure security (IAM, logging, monitoring)
  • AWS IAM and Entra ID administration, including conditional access
  • Familiarity securing enterprise generative AI services
  • Managing IT vendors and third-party pen testing
  • NIST CSF, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, or SOC 2 knowledge
  • Ability to help shape AI/cybersecurity strategy
  • Strong communication with non-technical stakeholders

Preferred:

  • Financial services or family office experience
  • Bachelor's preferred; CISSP/CCSP
