Cybersecurity Manager II

You will act as the digital risk lead embedded within ClienTech's product, data, and engineering ecosystem, ensuring that secure-by-design principles, firm cybersecurity standards, and ClienTech-specific delivery patterns are consistently applied across digital assets, accelerators, and client deployments. You will embed cybersecurity controls and secure design practices into ClienTech pipelines, reusable assets, accelerator builds, and delivery environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Working closely with engineering squads, you will support the implementation of secure SDLC and DevSecOps practices, including static analysis, dependency scanning, container hardening, threat modeling, and secure design reviews. You will also support the governance and security uplift of ClienTech internal platforms, development environments, and shared services, conduct technical assessments for emerging capabilities (including GenAI tools), track adherence to secure engineering guardrails, and highlight areas requiring uplift. During client delivery, you will work directly with client service teams to select secure runtime environments and define compliant data-handling workflows. Your work supports ClienTech's mission to deliver high-quality, high-velocity digital solutions by operationalizing security controls, enabling engineering teams, and effectively managing cyber risk across the build-and-deploy lifecycle. You will be based in one of our core locations as part of the ClienTech technology and engineering ecosystem, partnering closely with product, data, engineering, and client service teams.
