\n
• Support enhancements to advisor email security and authentication processes.
\n
• Help coordinate the rollout of new security tools, including secure browser technology for advisor-facing systems.
\n
• Partner with cross-functional teams and external vendors to plan, track, and deliver program milestones.

\n
• We’re looking for candidates with strong program leadership in cybersecurity and technology initiatives, particularly in financial services. Key qualifications include:
\n
• Proven experience leading major technology rollouts and enterprise programs.
\n
• Background in cybersecurity and familiarity with identity/access management (IAM) platforms such as Azure AD, SailPoint, Ping Identity, or Okta.

\n
• Expertise in Agile and SAFe methodologies, including hands-on use of Jira/Atlassian tools.
\n
• 5+ years in Agile or program management, with flexibility for exceptionally strong candidates demonstrating leadership capability.
