We are seeking a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst to lead the execution of our cybersecurity initiatives while remaining hands-on in day-to-day security operations. This role is responsible for driving cybersecurity governance, risk management, and continuous improvement across the organization, while actively working within security tools, responding to incidents, and supporting operational teams.
