• Financial Stewardship - Oversee program budgets, resource allocation, and vendor contracts to ensure cost-effective execution and value delivery

Who You Are: 

• 10+ years of experience leading large, multi-workstream programs in complex enterprise environments (merger/divestiture or cross-company integrations a plus)
• Deep expertise in cybersecurity frameworks, tools, and technologies (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Zero Trust, SIEM, endpoint protection)
