Corporate Security Lead
Builds and leads corporate IT security operations including helpdesk, endpoint management, SIEM deployment, and team hiring for a space communications company. Requires 5+ years in IT/security/DevSecOps, hands-on tools like Okta and AWS, and compliance knowledge.
About the job
Responsibilities
Corporate IT & Helpdesk
- Own all corporate IT: identity management (Okta), device management (Intune/Jamf/FleetDM), endpoint security, SaaS administration, and helpdesk.
- Provide and oversee hands-on IT support—new hire setup, desk deployment, A/V, asset management—while building automation to eliminate manual work over time.
- Drive Infrastructure as Code for IT systems. Build self-service tooling and integrations that scale operations without scaling headcount linearly.
SIEM & Security Operations
- Stand up Northwood’s SIEM—platform selection, log ingestion across ground stations and cloud infrastructure, correlation rules, and automated alerting.
- Work with product infrastructure engineers on building out things properly.
- Build SOC capabilities: detection and response playbooks, incident response processes, and continuous monitoring for distributed space communications infrastructure.
- Deploy and manage endpoint detection/response, email security, DLP, and zero-trust controls.
Team Building
- Hire and develop a team across security engineering and IT operations.
- Collaborate across engineering, network operations, and mission management as the primary IT and security subject-matter expert.
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years in IT, security, or DevSecOps engineering with experience leading or building teams.
- Hands-on corporate IT background: identity providers (Okta, Azure AD), endpoint management, SaaS administration, and helpdesk operations.
- Experience deploying and operating SIEM platforms and building security monitoring programs.
- Basic knowledge of compliance frameworks (i.e. NIST 800, SOC 2, FedRamp).
- Technical depth with Infrastructure as Code, scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell), and cloud environments (AWS).
- Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy environments.
- Ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
- Active TS clearance or higher.
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or critical infrastructure industries.
- Hands-on with SIEM platforms (Splunk, Sentinel, Panther) and EDR solutions (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne).
- Experience scaling IT and security from startup to enterprise.
- ITAR compliance experience.
- CISSP, CISM, CISA, or similar certifications.
