The role operates within a multi‑cloud environment, with primary emphasis on Azure, and additional responsibility across Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and others. The successful candidate will work across architecture, engineering, and operations to design secure solutions, deploy new security capabilities, and integrate security into cloud platforms and delivery processes at scale.

Providing cloud security leadership, technical expertise, and consulting across the enterprise.
Job Responsibilities
Develop and execute the enterprise Cloud Security Architecture and Operations roadmap in alignment with cybersecurity leadership direction.
Lead the Cloud Security Operations team, providing technical direction, prioritization, mentorship, and oversight.
Design, implement, and maintain secure cloud architecture patterns and services across Azure and other cloud environments.
Establish and maintain cloud security operating models, workflows, and procedures to support reliable, repeatable execution.
Oversee deployment and operational maturity of cloud security capabilities, including identity security, CSPM, logging, monitoring, and automation.
Coordinate cross‑functional delivery efforts across Cybersecurity, Cloud Engineering, Identity, Network, Application, and Infrastructure teams.
Ensure cloud security initiatives are operationally ready prior to scale, including validated architectures, documented processes, runbooks, and escalation paths.
Partner with SOC and Incident Response teams to support cloud security alerting, investigation workflows, and response readiness.
Drive ongoing maturity of cloud security controls through tuning, coverage expansion, continuous monitoring, and remediation of risk.
Identify, assess, and coordinate remediation of cloud security risks such as misconfigurations, excessive permissions, insecure deployments, and architecture gaps.
Develop and maintain metrics, dashboards, and reporting to measure cloud security posture, control effectiveness, and risk reduction.
Support governance, exception handling, and change management related to cloud security standards and enforcement.
Serve as a trusted advisor to technology and business stakeholders by translating business needs into secure, practical cloud solutions.
Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement across cloud and security teams.
Requirements Minimum
Expert‑level experience securing enterprise cloud environments, with strong hands‑on expertise in Azure.
Demonstrated experience designing and operating cloud security architectures at scale.
Experience leading or coordinating a technical security operations or engineering team.

Familiarity with NIST, CIS, OWASP, and Zero Trust security principles.
Experience operating in regulated or critical infrastructure environments.
