Ready to take on challenges at the leading edge of threat identification and mitigation and shape the future of security?

Our team does this every day. We are looking for an adaptable and creative security professional with expertise in counterintelligence, intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination, international coordination, and policy development to join the us.

The threat environment and the company are both constantly evolving : your ability to maintain understanding of the security needs of our customers and business will be invaluable to the AICP.

You will consult with business, legal, internal threat / intel teams, international teams and tech teams to develop gap remediation strategies and be proactive in the build-out of sustainable and systematic solutions.

You will be effective both working independently and cooperatively across partner teams when required, and able to contribute and deliver results whether involved at the level of strategic planning or tactical execution.

This unique role within the security space combines the functions of strategic intelligence, international coordination, technology integration, and policy advisor.

Our team leads internal efforts to understand, manage, and reduce risk to the ADC space from the earliest stages. You’ll work independently, and with customers and stakeholders on interesting and complex issues to solve problems on a global scale.

You’ll provide deep insights on a wide range of issues and develop innovative strategies to secure the ADC personnel, facilities, processes and information.

At times your contributions will be behind the scenes; other times they will be high visibility within the company. In all cases your work will have both immediate and longer-term impacts on the security of the cloud and the trust of our customers.

Ideal candidates will have consistently demonstrated the ability to lead complex programs on a variety of security issues;

produce written products that effectively support positive security outcomes; and communicate efficiently (both in writing and verbally) on complex topics, risks, and opportunities to mixed audiences (up to senior executive levels).

Though this is a non-technical role, you’ll grow your familiarity and acquire experience in a variety of cloud and related technical knowledge areas.

You’ll lead projects that cross multiple teams and business functions and will need to draw on various types of management skills.

This role requires a collaborative, curious, self-aware individual that will lean in when faced with ambiguity and high judgment situations.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS / SCI security clearance with polygraph.

• Create innovative approaches that effectively manage risks while meeting customer and business needs by developing holistic security strategies and establishing or maturing discrete, actionable mitigations
• Communicate intelligence analysis, risk assessments, and security guidance to diverse audiences effectively through written narratives, one-to-one conversations, and group discussions
• Develop and evaluate multiple security policy options, including assessing associated risks and opportunities, and make sound recommendation with conviction and confidence
• Ensure that the security bar is always met or raised by maintaining relationships with customers and stakeholders, integrating with partner teams to manage projects, and leading collective efforts to completion by deadlines
• Maintain the ability to travel domestically and internationally, if required
