Identify emerging gaps in CDO's operating posture, including those created by AI-accelerated threat timelines, and define strategic responses before they become crises. Define and drive CDO's operating model evolution: what needs to change, what needs to be built, and how the organization should sequence the work. Advise CISO org leadership on operating model design, organizational integration, and AI adoption strategy based on cross-functional insights and external landscape analysis. Design and stand up operating structures for priority strategic projects, then decrease involvement as functional leads take ownership. Drive AI adoption strategy for CDO: use-case intake, prioritization frameworks, governance guardrails, and maturity measurement. Serve as the connective layer across functional leads, ensuring dependencies are visible and cross-cutting work streams stay synchronized. Surface early signals when a charter is stalling — missed deadlines, shifting goalposts, adoption gaps — and escalate with clarity and recommended action. Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience. 3+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Demonstrated experience designing and operationalizing cross‑org operating models, including RACI, decision rights, escalation, and governance forums. Proven ability to run a portfolio of stakeholder relationships and drive structured collaboration frameworks that reduce friction. Excellent executive communication: ability to synthesize ambiguity into crisp narratives and decision points. Operational rigor and systems thinking (service rhythms, governance patterns, repeatable processes). Experience operating in incident response / cyber defense environments where “incident pace” and role clarity are essential. Experience working with security governance models that distinguish risk ownership from execution, and managing the seams between them.
