JOB SUMMARY:

The VP, Security and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has two interconnected responsibilities. As the Security Domain VP within the Trace3 Solutions Group, this role owns the Security domain go-to-market strategy, partner ecosystem, and gross profit performance across all regions. As Trace3's CISO, this role is responsible for the security of Trace3 and the execution of its internal security program at the same standard recommended to clients.

On the go-to-market side, this role leads Security Practice Directors and Domain Architects, shapes Security offerings, supports client engagement activities including assessments, requirements gathering, proofs of concept, and technical workshops, and ensures effective handoff to Delivery. The role is accountable for Security domain revenue, gross profit, year-over-year growth, and the development of AI-enabled security services that address both emerging threats and defense strategies.

As CISO, this role leads Trace3's Security Operations and Security Compliance functions. Trace3 operates on the same security principles it delivers to clients, with the CISO serving as the first adopter and validator of Security domain offerings before they are brought to market. This role partners closely with the VP, Information Technology & Application Development and owns Trace3's security posture, risk management, compliance, audit outcomes, and customer assurance activities.
