  • Oversee cybersecurity posture and compliance in alignment with global policies, proactively managing risk across infrastructure, networks, and enterprise systems.

  • Effective communicator and influencer operating within global, matrixed environments, with the ability to align regional priorities with enterprise-wide technology strategy.
  • Experience acting as a senior in-country technology leader, with accountability for infrastructure, workplace systems, site technology, and cybersecurity across multiple locations.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
