Cyber Security Project Manager overseeing IT projects focusing on cybersecurity services and solutions. Ensure the quality of documentation and contract compliance while leading technical personnel in Alexandria, VA.
About the role
- IT Director responsible for Corporate IT and Digital Workplace at Scribd. Leading projects in technology experience, security, and IT operations.
Responsibilities
- Partner with executive leadership to define a clear, prioritized IT roadmap and operating model aligned with business priorities.
- Lead evaluation and implementation of AI-enabled tools; identify high-value use cases and establish practical governance for responsible adoption.
- Serve as a visible advocate for IT across the company through cross-functional partnerships, translating business needs into scalable solutions and clear tradeoffs.
- Lead and coach a small team delivering Tier 1–3 support; set clear expectations, operating rhythms, and growth plans.
- Define and track outcomes that matter: reliability, speed of delivery, operational efficiency, and employee feedback - while maintaining runbooks, end user documentation, and continuously improving self service to reduce friction and repeat issues.
- Own intake, prioritization, escalations, and employee communications to ensure fast, high-quality resolution.
- Define and track service metrics that measure responsiveness, resolution quality, and employee satisfaction (e.g., time to first response, time to resolution, CSAT, SLA adherence).
- Drive recurring-issue elimination through better tooling, automation, and improved workflows—not just faster ticket closure.
- Own joiner/mover/leaver processes and the access lifecycle using least-privilege, role-based access, and periodic reviews.
- Administer and continuously improve core IT-managed systems (e.g., Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, ticketing, password manager).
- Partner with functional owners to support reliable operation and secure administration of business-critical platforms (e.g., NetSuite, Zendesk, and similar tools).
- Ensure systems and integrations are designed to support data integrity, access controls, auditability, and reliability.
- Establish lightweight standards for tool intake, approvals, renewals, admin role design, and deprovisioning to balance agility, security, and cost.
- Own devices end-to-end—procurement, provisioning, onboarding, repairs, refreshes, offboarding, and secure disposal.
- Ensure new hires have a consistent, secure, productive setup on day one; maintain accurate inventory and lifecycle hygiene.
- Manage macOS fleet standards and compliance posture via Kandji (configuration, app deployment, remote actions, device controls).
- Oversee office technology reliability including WiFi/networking, conference rooms/AV, and vendor-supported workplace infrastructure.
- Implement practical endpoint and access controls in partnership with Security (device compliance posture, endpoint protection hygiene, secure configurations).
- Support security incident response (triage, containment actions, device coordination, clear employee comms).
- Contribute to audits and evidence collection through strong documentation, access review practices, and clean system ownership (SOC 2 / ISO / PCI / SOX where applicable).
- Build & maintain playbooks and operational readiness for identity, email/collaboration, and endpoint tooling outages to reduce downtime and confusion when things break.
- Establish pragmatic standards and controls that improve reliability and security, applying sound judgment to balance risk, compliance, and business velocity.
- Partner cross-functionally on risk management and serve on the company’s risk committee, ensuring employee technology systems support the broader risk posture.
- Manage vendor relationships, spend, renewals, and procurement coordination, with accountability for performance and service delivery quality.
- Own the IT budget; make thoughtful investment decisions while operating within constraints.
- Lead key IT initiatives end-to-end with crisp stakeholder updates, predictable delivery, and measurable results.
- Identify and implement automation opportunities—especially in provisioning, access workflows, and device lifecycle—to reduce operational load over time.
