Cyber Operations Manager

The Cyber Operations Manager is responsible for the day-to-day cybersecurity operational activities for Safran USA, covering both standard (non-regulated) IT environments & U.S. regulated environments.
This role reports directly to the Safran USA CISO and maintains a dotted-line functional relationship to the Safran Group Cyber Operations Manager to ensure alignment with Group cyber strategy, tooling, and operational standards-while preserving U.S. regulatory control and authority.

The role is structured around two distinct but integrated scopes of responsibility:
*Cyber Operational Activities - Standard (Non-Regulated) Environments (~80%)
*Cyber Operational Activities - Regulated U.S. Environments (~20%)
This structure ensures full alignment with Safran Group global SOC operations, while preserving U.S. regulatory compliance and operational control where required.
