• Manage and track the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle, including assessment, prioritization, ownership assignment, mitigation planning, remediation follow-up, exception handling, and closure validation.
• Conduct vulnerability and risk assessments across servers, endpoints, network devices, applications, cloud services, and manufacturing-related assets where applicable.
• Utilize cybersecurity tools, technologies, and methodologies to perform security assessments and provide actionable recommendations.
• Establish and maintain vulnerability baselines to measure exposure, remediation progress, and overall cybersecurity posture.
• Work with IT, infrastructure, application, manufacturing, and OT teams to support mitigation and remediation activities while considering operational constraints and change windows.

Asset Visibility & Security Monitoring

• Maintain visibility of IT and manufacturing-related assets, supporting accurate inventory, classification, ownership, and security monitoring coverage.
• Analyze cybersecurity alerts, trends, and threat intelligence to identify emerging threats.
• Implement proactive and reactive measures to reduce cyber risk and production disruption.
• Stay informed about emerging cyber threats affecting enterprise IT, infrastructure, and manufacturing environments.

Governance & Compliance

• Contribute to cybersecurity policies, standards and procedures.
• Participate in cybersecurity audits and assessments and track remediation activities.
• Develop cybersecurity metrics and executive dashboards.
• Report risk posture and remediation status to management.

Threat Intelligence & Continuous Improvement

• Leverage threat intelligence and industry trends to assess potential impacts on manufacturing operations and recommend preventive measures.
• Identify opportunities to improve cybersecurity processes, technologies, and operational effectiveness.

Incident Response

• Support cybersecurity incident investigations, root cause analysis, containment, recovery, and lessons learned activities for IT and OT environments.
• Contribute to the cybersecurity incident response lifecycle, including preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.
• Support initiatives that improve operational resilience and reduce the cybersecurity impact on production operations.

Cybersecurity Advisory & Program Delivery

• Coordinate vulnerability management, cybersecurity control tracking, and remediation activities across IT teams, infrastructure teams, manufacturing stakeholders, and OT contacts.
• Provide cybersecurity expertise and advisory support for IT projects, infrastructure initiatives, and manufacturing-related security activities.
• Collaborate with site personnel, engineering teams, infrastructure teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders to support cybersecurity initiatives.
• Contribute to the successful delivery of cybersecurity projects and operational objectives.
• Assess and validate the effectiveness of cybersecurity controls implemented across IT networks, systems, and manufacturing-related environments.

You are best suited for the role if you have the following qualifications:

• University degree in information systems, computer science, engineering, or a related field. A master’s degree in information security is preferred.
• Minimum of 4 years of cybersecurity experience, preferably with hands-on involvement in vulnerability management, vulnerability assessment, security tooling deployment, remediation tracking, and cybersecurity control monitoring across IT environments.
• Certifications such as CISSP or GICSP are an asset.
• Experience supporting vulnerability and patch management processes, including end-to-end tracking of mitigation, remediation, exceptions, and closure activities.
• Hands-on experience with cybersecurity platforms supporting vulnerability scanning, exposure management, asset discovery, configuration assessment, patch prioritization, remediation tracking, or security monitoring.
• Exposure to manufacturing, industrial, or OT environments is considered an asset; deep OT engineering expertise is not required.
• Experience in conducting cyber incident investigations.
• Knowledge of information security frameworks and standards (NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-82, IEC 62443, ITIL).
• Technical familiarity with technologies used for security event monitoring, endpoint detection and response, log analysis, threat detection, alert triage, and incident investigation is an asset.
• Strong understanding of networking and infrastructure concepts, including TCP/IP, switches, routers, firewalls, segmentation, secure remote access, Windows/Linux systems, and enterprise services; familiarity with the Purdue model is an asset.
