Job description

Seagate Technology is a global leader in data storage solutions, operating at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation and legacy infrastructure. Our Information Technology organization is responsible for enabling secure, scalable, and resilient systems across our global enterprise.

We are seeking a strategic, execution-oriented CISO to lead cybersecurity across a complex global environment spanning cloud, enterprise IT, and operational technology (OT).

Reporting to the SVP, Chief Information Officer, the CISO will be accountable for defining security strategy and ensuring execution of core security capabilities, with a strong focus on risk-based prioritization, operational effectiveness, and measurable outcomes.

About the role - you will:

1. Own Security Risk Posture and Outcomes

Establish and maintain an integrated, fact-based view of the organization's security risk posture that spans enterprise IT, cloud, and operational technology environments. Synthesize technical risk signals into a coherent view of business and operational impact.

Ensure risk posture is translated into prioritized action aligned to actual business and operational risk

2. Drive execution across cloud, IT, and OT environments

Define security and control models appropriate to each environment, recognizing the distinct constraints and risk profiles of cloud, enterprise IT, and operational technology

Establish clear ownership, accountability, and decision rights across the distributed execution model, ensuring security outcomes are owned beyond the InfoSec organization across InfoSec, IT, and Business functions

Influence resource and investment prioritization across IT and business to ensure security requirements are addressed at the right level

3. Establish and operate a risk-based security operating model that drives consistent, prioritized, and measurable security outcomes across the enterprise

Define and socialize a risk appetite and tolerance framework in partnership with executive leadership — establishing the calibration point for all security prioritization decisions

Build a risk-based investment and prioritization framework that allocates security resources based on risk reduction outcomes, not tool deployment or compliance checkbox completion

4. Mature the security program from reactive to proactive across protection, detection, response, and recovery capabilities

5. Build and Lead a High-Accountability Security Organization

Establish a clear expectation for ownership, delivery, and measurable outcomes

Drive a culture of accountability, prioritization and execution discipline across the security function

6. Communicate clearly with Executive Leadership and Board

Present clear, fact-based views of risk posture

Articulate technical issues into business impact, prioritization decisions

Provide transparency on progress, trade-offs and limitations

Success in this role will be measured by clear, fact-based visibility into risk posture, effective prioritization of security efforts, and demonstrable improvements in control effectiveness across environments across environments.

About you:

• You are a strategic and pragmatic security leader who balances strategy with execution
• You are comfortable operating in complex, heterogeneous environments with competing priorities and constraints
• You challenge assumptions and drive clarity and prioritization
• You focus on outcomes over activity
• You can operate effectively in ambiguous environments

Your experience includes:

• Executive-level globalleadership rolein cybersecurity within large, global enterprises
• Strong experience in:

• Cybersecurity architecture, risk management and regulatory compliance
• Demonstrated ability to building, developing, and retaining high-performing globalsecurity teams,recruiting strong talent, structuring organizations to match operating models, and developing security leaders capable of owning outcomes independently
• Demonstrated ability to drive execution and establish risk-based prioritization frameworks
• Experience building and adapting zero-trust principles in complex hybrid environments including OT
