If you're like us, you're tired of having a "normal" job.

You're looking for something bigger. Something that means more than just a 9-5.

You want to look back at the end of your career and be able to say, “Wow, we really made people's lives better with our work.”

To you, working to build a company from the early stages is exciting, not scary.

You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and are looking for the freedom that comes from working at home.

If this sounds like you, then you might be one of us.

We're always looking for amazing people to join our team. And this is an opportunity for you to do just that.

We are a growing cybersecurity consulting firm that specializes in Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services exclusively in the banking industry. Basically, that means we help our clients manage cybersecurity as high-level, high-touch consultants. We've been in business since early 2015 and have been experiencing solid growth every year since.

This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of something big. This is the opportunity to be a part of building an excellent company in an exciting field.

If cyber security is exciting to you but feels a little daunting, that's okay. We will teach you our methodology and processes. But to do that, we do desire some experience for this position. Because we work exclusively in the financial institution space, we're looking for someone who has 1-2 years of banking or credit union experience in any of the following areas:

information technology
cybersecurity
information security
risk management
compliance
audit
operations

It's okay if that experience comes in a small community financial institution with only a handful of locations or a large regional bank or corporate credit union.

If an applicant does not have banking experience but has strong organization skills and is very detail-oriented they may still be a fit.

There's a position description below, but to get down to it, this role is a liaison and coordinator with our clients and the vCISO Senior Advisor to keep our client’s information security programs on track.

You’ll get to work with a team that is among the best. The knowledge and experience you will gain in this position are invaluable.

To be successful, this position requires the following skills:

Excellent communication skills, including verbal, written, video conferencing, etc.
Strong ability in the Microsoft O365 suite (Excel, Word, SharePoint, Outlook)
Basic project management capabilities, including scheduling, prioritizing, managing deadlines, etc.
And the following intangibles:
Flexible and adaptable attitude
Service-minded approach
Desire and willingness to learn

Qualified candidates should submit a resume along with a brief cover letter describing their interest in this position and why they’d be a good fit.
