Director of Enterprise Information Security

Job Expired
ID:  2911
Function:  Information Technology
Location:  North Reading, MA, US

Organization and Role:

We are the global test and automation specialists, powering next-generation technologies through sophisticated solutions.
Behind every electronic device you use, Teradyne’s test technology ensures your device works right the first time, every time.
Our portfolio of automation solutions helps manufacturers to develop and deliver products quickly, efficiently, and
cost-effectively. Together, Teradyne companies deliver manufacturing automation across industries and applications around the
world.

The Director of Enterprise Information Security is a critical member of the chief information security officer’s (CISO’s) team.
The role is to act as an interface between the CISO’s strategic and process-based activities and the work of the IT organization.
The Director must be able to translate the IT-risk requirements and constraints of the business into technical control requirements
and specifications, as well as develop metrics for ongoing performance measurement and reporting. The Director coordinates the IT
organization’s technical activities to implement and manage security infrastructure, and to provide regular status and service-level
reports to management.

The Director is a leadership role that requires an individual with a strong technical background, as well as an ability to work
with the IT organization and business management to align priorities and plans with key business objectives. The Director will
act as an empowered representative of the CISO during IT planning initiatives to ensure that security measures are incorporated
into strategic IT plans and that service expectations are clearly defined. The Director will also be responsible for working with
business and IT stakeholders to balance real-world risks with business drivers such as speed, agility, flexibility, and
performance. Expertise in leading project teams and developing and managing projects is essential for success in this role.
In addition to supporting the CISO’s policies and strategies, the Director must be able to prioritize work efforts — balancing
operational tasks with longer-term strategic security efforts. Other project management tasks will include resource balancing across
multiple IT and security teams, task prioritizing and project reporting. Vendor relationship management — ensuring that service levels
and vendor obligations are met — is also an important aspect of the position.

• Work with the CISO to develop budget projections based on short- and long-term goals and objectives.
• Monitor and report on compliance with security policies, as well as the enforcement of policies within the IT department.
• Propose changes to existing policies and procedures to ensure operating efficiency and regulatory compliance.
• Manage a staff of information security professionals, hire and train new staff, conduct performance reviews, and provide leadership and coaching, including technical and personal development programs for team members.

Architecture/engineering support

• Ensure that security is factored into the evaluation, selection, installation and configuration of hardware, applications, and software.
• Recommend and coordinate the implementation of technical controls to support and enforce defined security policies.
• Research, evaluate, design, test, recommend or plan the implementation of new or updated information security hardware
or software, and analyze its impact on the existing environment; provide technical and managerial expertise for the administration
of security tools.

Operational support

• Coordinate, measure, and report on the technical aspects of security management.
• Manage outsourced vendors that provide information security functions for compliance with contracted service-level agreements.
• Manage and coordinate operational components of incident management, including detection, response, and reporting.
• Assist and guide the disaster recovery planning team in the selection of recovery strategies and the development, testing and
maintenance of disaster recovery plans.
• Design, coordinate and oversee security testing procedures to verify the security of systems, networks and applications, and
manage the remediation of identified risks.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• A bachelor’s degree in information systems or equivalent work experience; an M.B.A. or M.S. in information security is preferred.
• A minimum of seven years of IT experience, with five years in an information security role and at least two years in a supervisory capacity.
