ABOUT KALLES GROUP:
Everyone deserves to be secure. Our mission at Kalles Group is to help secure the future for companies of all shapes and sizes.
While our expertise spans multiple disciplines, our method remains consistent: building trust and relationship with people -- whether you are a client, a consultant, or--in this case--a candidate.
No matter what role you come from--whether you're an executive or just starting your career-you can expect our highest level of attention and respect. We want to find the right fit for each role, but we also want you to find the right fit for your career.
We believe the best way to show you what our team is like is to treat you like you're already a part of it. We hope you'll consider joining our team of experienced professionals who are building their careers at Kalles Group—and having fun while doing it.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
As the Project Manager Consultant for a cybersecurity controls prioritization program for our client (a large global philanthropic organization), you’ll be the program’s prioritization engine and traffic controller. You’ll lead risk-based prioritization and sequencing of cybersecurity controls, working across security, IT, engineering, and business teams to keep work aligned and moving. You’ll own the integrated roadmap, schedule, RAID log, and resource plan, and you’ll run the governance and risk-acceptance forums that keep decisions on track. You’ll report KPIs on control implementation, adoption, frontline testing, and remediation. You’ll also turn complex controls and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable decisions for executive leadership.
