Cyber Security - Manager (Strategy)

Security risk is a business problem. At Riveron, our Cybersecurity practice helps organizations understand their risk, make confident decisions, and build security programs that hold up under real pressure. We partner with business leaders, boards, and technical teams to deliver advisory and execution that is practical, credible, and tied to what matters to the organization. Our work spans the full security lifecycle, from program strategy and risk advisory to compliance readiness and hands-on remediation. We serve startups, mid-market companies, and PE-backed portfolios at any stage of their security journey, across a wide range of industries and regulatory environments. The Cybersecurity Manager (Strategy) is a key delivery role within the practice. This person leads project execution across client engagements, serves as the primary day-to-day client contact, and represents the firm with professionalism while leading conversations at any level of the organization. You will work closely with senior practice leadership, mentor junior team members, and contribute across our cybersecurity strategy, GRC, and security engineering teams as engagement needs evolve. This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership naturally, and wants to grow in a client-facing advisory environment.

You can move between a strategy, compliance, and a technical architecture conversation without losing your footing. - You are a natural collaborator. You work well across teams, and you make the people around you better. - You are curious and motivated to keep growing. The security landscape moves fast, and you stay with it. - You enjoy being part of something bigger, including recruiting, training, firm events, and building a practice that stands out in the market.
