Principal - Secure Procurement Leader

Job Description Summary The Opportunity

Critical energy infrastructure depends on the security of every component inside it. As GE Vernova's Secure Procurement Leader, you will own the program that ensures every third-party hardware, software, firmware, and service integrated into GE Vernova commercial products meets rigorous cybersecurity standards — before it ever reaches a customer.

This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role at the intersection of supply chain, product security, and regulatory compliance. You will set supplier security requirements, lead assessments and audits, embed cybersecurity obligations into procurement contracts, and advance Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) adoption across GE Vernova's global supplier base. Your work directly protects the reliability and security of the energy systems that power modern life.

Job Description

What You'll Do

• Own and evolve the Secure Procurement Program end-to-end, defining supplier cybersecurity requirements, policies, and contractual obligations aligned with ISA/IEC (International Society of Automation / International Electrotechnical Commission) 62443-2-4 and 62443-2-1 standards.
• Lead supplier assessments and audits, including questionnaire-based reviews, remote evaluations, and on-site assessments; track risk findings, remediation actions, and compliance status across the supplier base.
• Embed security into procurement processes, integrating cybersecurity requirements into Requests for Proposals (RFPs), contracts, and supplier qualification workflows; maintain a cybersecurity-focused Approved Supplier List.
• Drive SBOM adoption and open-source risk management, using Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools to identify and mitigate open-source software risk; coordinate vulnerability response for supplier-provided components in the field.
• Deliver intelligence and influence, producing executive-level supplier risk reporting, monitoring supply chain threats and emerging regulations, and representing GE Vernova in industry forums and standards bodies.
• Build team capability, mentoring colleagues on secure procurement practices and ISA/IEC 62443 standards while partnering with product engineering, sourcing, legal, and Vulnerability Operations teams.
