• Own the enterprise data loss prevention (DLP) platform end to end: architecture, administration, policy design, tuning, and alert triage across endpoint, email, web, cloud, and SaaS.
• Build and run data discovery and classification so we know where customer, employee, financial, and payment data lives across a multi-cloud environment.
• Run data security posture management. Find overexposed, stale, and redundant data, and remove access people don't need.
• Bring each acquired company's data under the same controls on a defined timeline as part of M&A integration.
• Extend DLP and investigations to generative AI, covering what data goes into AI tools and how prompts and outputs are preserved as evidence.
• Run the insider risk program from signal to closed case, working with HR, Legal, Privacy, and Employee Relations.
• Lead digital forensic examinations across Windows, macOS, Linux, mobile devices, cloud workloads, and collaboration platforms, from collection and preservation through analysis and reporting.
• Own evidence handling and chain of custody to a standard that holds up in litigation, regulatory inquiry, and law enforcement referral.
• Bring forensic depth to every major incident: scope, root cause, and deliver the evidence that feeds materiality decisions and after-action reports.
• Run eDiscovery collections and legal holds for Legal and outside counsel and manage forensic and eDiscovery firms when a matter needs outside support.
• Brief executives, Legal, and HR on findings in plain language.
• Lead and grow a small team of data security analysts. Hire well, coach hard, and set the bar.
• Automate first. Build playbooks that triage DLP alerts, enrich cases, and close low-risk volume without a human in the loop.
• Write and maintain the data protection and forensics standards, procedures, and runbooks, mapped to NIST CSF 2.0.
• Report metrics that show risk improvements: policy coverage, true-positive rate, time to triage, case cycle time, and sensitive-data exposure trend.
• Partner with IT, Data & Analytics, Engineering, and Legal to put controls in place without slowing the business down.

• 7+ years in information security, with hands-on time in both data protection (DLP, classification, DSPM, or insider risk) and digital forensics or incident response.
• 2+ years leading people.
• Hands-on administration of an enterprise DLP platform at scale. You've written the policies and tuned out the noise yourself.
• Working command of forensic acquisition and analysis for disk, memory, mobile, and cloud, plus chain-of-custody practice.
• Experience running eDiscovery collections and legal holds and working investigations with HR and Legal under privilege.
• Scripting in Python or PowerShell, and experience with SOAR or workflow automation.
• Working knowledge of NIST CSF 2.0 and the data rules that apply to a public company: PCI DSS, CMMC, state privacy laws, and SEC cybersecurity disclosure.
• Sound judgment and discretion. You'll handle sensitive material and personnel matters, and you'll make calls on incomplete facts.
• Clear writing and briefing for executives and counsel.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Preferred: CISSP; GCFA, GCFE, GCFR, or EnCE. CIPP/US or CIPT is a plus.
• Experience in a multi-company or M&A integration environment is a plus.

• Base pay range: $140,400 - $210,600
• Annual performance bonus
• 401(k) with employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO, company holidays, and parental leave
• Paid Time Off/Paid Sick Leave: Applicants can expect to accrue 15 days of paid time off during their first year (4.62 hours for every 80 hours worked) and increased accruals after five years of service.
• Paid training and certifications
• Legal assistance and identity protection
• Pet insurance
• Employee assistance program (EAP)
