    Job Description

    If you're like us, you're tired of having a normal job.

    You're looking for something bigger. Something that means more than just a 9-5.

    You want to look back at the end of your career and be able to say, “Wow, we really made a difference with our work.”

    To you, working to build a company from the early stages is exciting, not scary.

    You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and are looking for the freedom that comes from working at home.

    You want an environment where your ideas make a difference and your voice is heard.

    If this sounds like you, then you might be one of us.

    We're always looking for amazing people to join our team. And this is an opportunity for you to do just that.

    We are a growing cybersecurity consulting firm that specializes in Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services exclusively in the banking industry. Basically, that means we help our clients manage cybersecurity as high level, high touch consultants. We've been in business for over five years and have been experiencing solid growth every year since our founding.

    This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of something big. This is the opportunity to be a part of building an excellent company in a growing field.

    If cybersecurity is exciting to you, but feels a little daunting, that's okay. We will teach you our methodology and processes. But to do that, we do require some experience for this position. Because we work exclusively in the financial institution space, WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS AT LEAST 1 YEAR OF BANKING OR CREDIT UNION EXPERIENCE IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

    INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SECURITY CYBERSECURITY AUDIT COMPLIANCE RISK MANAGEMENT

    It's okay if that experience comes in a small community financial institution with only a handful of locations or a large regional bank or corporate credit union.

    There's a position description below, but to get down to it, this role handles many of the day-to-day activities and is a coordinator with our clients and the Senior Virtual CISO to keep our clients’ information security programs on track.

    You’ll get to work with a team of Senior vCISO Advisors that is among the best. The knowledge and experience you will gain in this position are unmatched.

    To be successful, this position requires the following skills:

    1. Excellent communication skills, including verbal, written, video conferencing, etc.
    2. Strong ability in the Microsoft O365 suite (Excel, Word, SharePoint, Outlook)
    3. Basic project management capabilities, including scheduling, prioritizing, managing deadlines, etc.

    And the following intangibles:

    1. Flexible and adaptable attitude
    2. Service-minded approach
    3. Desire and willingness to learn

    Qualified candidates should submit a resume along with a brief cover letter describing their interest in this position and why they’d be a good fit.
