Full description

Description:

  • The client

envisions a senior cybersecurity advisor positioned in a business advisory capacity rather than technical execution, capable of influencing managers, project leads, and vice presidents without having direct authority over them.

  • The

recurring keywords (support, advise, raise awareness, influence, business portfolio, governance) indicate a cross-functional subject matter expert role integrated into transformation programs, not an operational security position.

  • The

implicit expectation of the mandate is strong crisis management and executive communication skills: the candidate must be able to present risk scenarios to a crisis committee and vice presidents, which implies prior advisory experience validated at this level of stakeholders.

  • The broad

range of technical domains listed (architecture, cloud computing, IAM, DevSecOps, APIs, containerization) describes the required cross-functional understanding, not deep hands-on expertise in each area.

  • This role

should not be confused with a security architect, SOC analyst, or DevSecOps engineer: those are technical execution profiles, whereas this mandate is an advisory and risk governance role tied to a specific business portfolio.

Requirements

Required:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity,

software engineering, information systems, or a related field

  • 8 to 12 years of experience in information technology,

including a minimum of 5 years in cybersecurity, technology risk management, or security governance

  • Significant experience supporting projects, programs, or

transformation initiatives

  • Experience in risk analysis and integrating cybersecurity

into business processes

  • Advanced French and English, both spoken and written

Desired:

  • Cross-functional knowledge of technical domains: solution

architecture, cloud computing (AWS, Azure, GCP), IAM/IGA/PAM, networking and perimeter security, API security, containerization, vulnerability management and privileged access management, incident detection and response, data protection

  • Participation in large-scale projects involving digital or

cloud technologies

  • Communication experience with governance bodies, committees,

or management

Asset:

  • Knowledge of artificial intelligence and emerging technology
