Responsibilities

- Own and govern security across the complete technology footprint used by LexisNexis employees globally - including endpoint devices, SaaS productivity tools, collaboration platforms, identity systems, enterprise applications, and corporate network infrastructure.
- Partner with IT and workplace technology teams to embed security controls into procurement, onboarding, and lifecycle management of employee-facing technology.

Requirements

- Collaborative leadership undergraduate degree required.
Nice to have
- Provide inspirational leadership to a global security organization spanning cyber defense, GRC, product security, identity and access management, and security engineering.
- foster a coaching culture with clear career pathways, succession planning, and a psychologically safe environment for raising security concerns.
- prioritize investments by risk reduction, business enablement, and operational efficiency.
- act as a trusted advisor who enables the business rather than a gatekeeper who slows it down.
- Experience in financial services, legal, information services, or similarly regulated, data-sensitive industries strongly preferred.
