About the Client: Our client is a titan in the global investment and brokerage space, known for its rapid growth and sophisticated technology landscape. They operate at the intersection of traditional financial stability and modern, agile execution. With a flat hierarchy and a culture that prizes technical meritocracy, this is an environment where high performers are given the autonomy to lead and the resources to succeed.
The Role & Landscape: Reporting directly to the Head of Information Security , you will be the tactical engine driving the security roadmap across the entire enterprise. This is not a "passive tracking" role; you are the primary orchestrator of the firm's defense initiatives.
- Strategic Execution: Lead the end-to-end delivery of the IT Security project portfolio, ensuring initiatives are delivered on time and within risk appetite.
- Vulnerability Design: Partner with Application and Platform teams to architect and roll out a world-class Vulnerability Management program.
- Security Advisory: Act as a critical gatekeeper, assessing internal proposals and third-party services to ensure they meet stringent security benchmarks.
- Governance & Compliance: Maintain a comprehensive overview of management controls, ensuring the firm stays ahead of evolving regulatory requirements in the APAC region.
What We Are Looking For:
- Experience: Minimum 3 years of Project Management experience specifically within IT or Security domains.
- Domain Knowledge: A strong conceptual grasp of Cyber Security topics—you should be comfortable discussing vulnerability lifecycles and the CIA triad.
- Education: A Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a technical discipline.
- Communication: Bilingual fluency in English and Mandarin is essential, as you will be interfacing with diverse regional stakeholders.
- Mindset: A proactive, "result-driven" approach with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
Why Apply To This Role: This is your opportunity to step into a high-visibility role with a direct line to leadership. You will be moving away from "box-ticking" and into a position where you design the frameworks that protect a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. If you want to transition from a generalist PM to a specialized Security Leader, this is the launchpad youve been looking for.
