SVP, Head of Security Technology

We are conducting a search for a SVP, Head of Security Technology to join the executive cybersecurity leadership team of a large, highly respected global organization.

This is a #2-level leadership position within the security organization, reporting directly to the CISO, with significant visibility across executive leadership and the broader enterprise.
The mandate is substantial: modernize the company’s security technology organization and help define what enterprise cybersecurity should look like for the next several years.
This executive will lead a team of approximately 20+ security architects and engineers and have responsibility across Security Architecture, Security Engineering, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and Continuous Threat & Exposure Management (CTEM).
The organization is making a significant investment in modernizing its security posture, moving toward an AI-enabled, automation-first, engineering-led security model. This leader will have the opportunity to influence architecture, technology strategy, operating model, security investment and the evolution of security capabilities across a large and complex enterprise.

You will have a mandate to build, modernize and transform.
You will help define the target-state security architecture, establish an automation-first security engineering model, advance Zero Trust and identity capabilities, rationalize security platforms and vendors, strengthen DevSecOps, and bring AI and analytics deeper into how security risk is identified and managed.
Just as importantly, you will have a seat at the table with senior leadership and the ability to connect security architecture and technology investment directly to enterprise risk, resilience and business strategy.

For the right security executive, this is an opportunity to have a significant impact on the direction of a major enterprise cybersecurity organization while working closely with an accomplished CISO and executive leadership team.
If you are a senior cybersecurity leader who has successfully made the progression from Security Architect ? Security Architecture/Engineering Leader ? Enterprise Security Executive, I would be very interested in speaking with you.
Please send me your resume or reach out directly for a confidential conversation.

Title: SVP, Head of Security Technology
Compensation: $350K–$400K base salary + annual bonus + LTI/RSUs
Location: Wilmington, Delaware

The Background We’re Looking For
This is not a role for a purely administrative security executive.
We are particularly interested in leaders who built their careers in Security Architecture, developed deep technical credibility, and then progressed into increasingly significant leadership roles.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• 15+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience
• A strong foundation in enterprise security architecture
• Several years leading senior security architecture, engineering and/or technology organizations
• Experience operating within a large, complex enterprise environment
• Strong knowledge of cloud security, Zero Trust, IAM, security engineering and exposure management
• Experience modernizing security environments through automation, platform consolidation, architecture modernization and operating-model transformation
• The executive presence to influence CIO/CISO-level leaders, business executives and other senior stakeholders
• Experience managing significant technology investments, vendors, budgets and enterprise-scale security programs
• The ability to remain technically credible while operating effectively at the executive level

Experience within insurance or financial services is attractive but not required. We are very interested in executives coming from large Fortune 500 or similarly complex organizations where cybersecurity operates at significant scale.
