About this role

We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced professional to support the design and facilitation of engaging, information security-themed cyber exercises.

Experience delivering training instruction in both in-person and live virtual formats is highly valued.  

 

Responsibilities: 

  • Demonstrated understanding of Information Security policies, standards, and procedures related to data privacy, technology use, incident response, and broader cybersecurity topics. 

  • Ability to design training and exercise solutions that align with business objectives and regulatory requirements. 

  • Experience reviewing and updating cyber response playbooks, ensuring consistency across stakeholders and accuracy of critical processes. 

  • Skilled in collaborating with subject matter experts, vendors, and internal teams to ensure exercise content and assessment structure reflects current security architecture and technology stack. 

  • Familiarity with modern collaboration tools such as SharePoint Online, Teams, and Webex. 

  • Knowledge of current threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), with the ability to incorporate them into large-scale cyber assessment campaigns. 

Qualifications: 

  • 5+ years of experience in cyber exercises, incident response, or cyber assessments program management. 

  • Proven experience managing cybersecurity exercise programs or assessment initiatives. 

  • Strong background in Financial Sector, National Security, and/or Information Security environments. 

  • Excellent project management skills with the ability to lead multiple initiatives simultaneously. 

  • Advanced PowerPoint design and editing skills for creating impactful presentations. 

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience engaging diverse stakeholder groups. 

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. 

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams. 

  • A bachelor’s or master’s degree in cybersecurity, cyber intelligence, instructional design or a related field is preferred, though equivalent professional experience will also be considered.
