Cyber Security Manager

Overview Founded in 2007 as America's first dental partnership organization, MB2 Dental has grown to 850+ partner practice locations nationwide. At that scale, protecting patient data is not a back‑office concern. It is a core operational and legal responsibility that touches every part of the organization. We are looking for a Cybersecurity Manager who is ready to own this function. The right person brings technical depth, leadership capability, and the drive to build a security program in a complex, fast‑moving healthcare environment. This role requires someone who can operate strategically and execute hands‑on without hesitation. This is not a policy‑writing role. MB2 Dental's IT leaders are builders and doers, and we expect the same here. You will own the security function, lead and develop the security team, and personally execute: building controls, responding to incidents, administering platforms, and driving the program forward. We are pleased to offer a competitive compensation package that includes medical/dental/vision/life insurance, long‑ and short‑term disability, PTO, paid holidays, traditional and Roth 401(k) options, and more. How We Work: Hands‑On by Design At MB2 Dental, our IT leaders do not just direct the work. They are in it. That is a deliberate part of our culture and something we take pride in. This role is built the same way. In practice, that means the Cybersecurity Manager is working alongside the team: administering security platforms, personally investigating and responding to incidents, building and configuring controls, and maturing the SIEM program. Third‑party risk reviews, vendor access assessments, and daily team direction all live here, too. This is also a leadership role with real influence. The team looks to this person for guidance, mentorship, and escalation support. We want someone who brings out the best in the people around them while staying deeply connected to the technical work. That balance is what makes this role meaningful. If that sounds like the kind of environment where you do your best work, we would like to meet you.
