Job summary

TerraPower LLC. is seeking a dedicated security leadership professional to manage a team of analysts and engineers, owning the security posture of the organization and the people defending it.

You will lead day-to-day operations, drive risk pictures, and ensure effective response during incidents. You will partner with infrastructure, application, AI, and data teams to integrate security into systems, set policies, and oversee vendor performance, including MDR/SOC providers.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field or equivalent practical experience in information security roles.
• 6+ years in information security, including a minimum of 3+ years leading security teams, ideally including both information security analysts and cyber security engineers.
• Experience managing information security operations, including direct oversight of staff and third-party security vendors (MDR/SOC).
• Familiarity with security compliance frameworks and documentation (POA&Ms, SSPs, NIST, or similar) and experience supporting audits and assessments.
• Comfort partnering cross-functionally with Legal, Procurement, and Compliance to evaluate vendor and application risk.

Responsibilities

• Directly manage a team of information security analysts and engineers — coaching, developing, and advocating for them.
• Own day-to-day security operations: threat detection and response, vulnerability management, incident response, and security tooling.
• Manage TerraPower’s MDR vendor’s performance and expectations.
• Set and maintain security policies, standards, and practices in line with industry frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-171, ISO 27001) and evolving regulatory requirements.
• Serve as incident commander or delegate appropriately during security events, keeping leadership informed without micromanaging the response.
• Partner with infrastructure, application, AI and data teams to build security into systems and processes rather than bolting it on afterward.
• Manage vendor relationships and tooling decisions for the security stack.
• Build a team culture where people feel safe raising risks and mistakes early — security teams that operate on fear catch less, not more
