• Architect and govern DLP solutions to protect sensitive data across endpoints, cloud platforms, and enterprise systems
• Establish secure application design patterns and integrate security into the software development lifecycle
• Provide oversight of PKI and certificate lifecycle management strategies
• Partner with cross-functional teams to align security architecture with compliance, risk, and regulatory requirements
• Act as a trusted advisor in security architecture reviews and enterprise risk discussion
• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CISM, GIAC, etc.) preferred or ability to obtain
• 8+ years of cybersecurity or IT experience with strong enterprise architecture exposure
• Deep expertise across IAM, PAM, DLP, and application security domains
• Strong knowledge of security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO) and modern security technologies
