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 robust 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 risks
