The Manager – Cybersecurity will support and drive AIOAPP's cybersecurity strategy by coordinating key security initiatives, ensuring timely execution of security tasks across departments, and maintaining consistent communication with management.

• Assist with vendor security assessments, asset and access governance, and policy lifecycle activities.
• Track remediation items, risk treatment plans, and policy compliance across departments.
• Communicate security gaps and audit observations to leadership and follow up on closure.

Security Operations Coordination

• Coordinate SOC activities, ensuring timely investigation, closure, and documentation of security alerts and incidents.
• Support communication between SOC team, IT, and engineering for incident response actions.
• Validate that RCA, corrective actions, and security enhancement plans are properly tracked.

Application Security & VAPT Oversight

• Track vulnerability remediation timelines and enforce resolution SLAs with engineering leads.
• Ensure secure SDLC checkpoints, security approvals, and risk exceptions are documented.

Communication & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as a central point of coordination for cybersecurity-related activities across the organization.
• Conduct regular sync-ups with stakeholders and organize review meetings with leadership.
• Communicate security initiatives, key risks, and compliance status in structured formats.

Awareness, Training & Culture

• Coordinate information security awareness initiatives, phishing campaigns, and training schedules.
• Promote cybersecurity accountability across departments and reinforce security-first practices.

What are we looking for, and what does it require to be the right fit for this role?

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, or related field.
• 6–10 years of experience in cybersecurity, governance, or IT leadership roles.
• Strong background in security program coordination, audit support, and project delivery.
