Job Description

Reporting to the VP, Data Management, AI & Information Security, you’ll play a key strategic role in shaping and driving our global cybersecurity vision. You’ll define the roadmap, lead a talented team, and ensure our organization remains compliant and resilient across multi-region cloud environments and connected IoT products.

This is a highly visible leadership role, one that combines technical depth, business acumen, and the opportunity to influence how we grow securely at scale.

🚀 What You’ll Do

  • Define and execute a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy aligned with our business goals and long-term roadmap.
  • Lead and inspire the cybersecurity team, promoting a strong “security by design” mindset across all departments.
  • Oversee risk governance through committees, executive reporting, and actionable KPIs/KRIs.
  • Elevate the company’s security maturity with cross-functional objectives, performance reviews, and clear accountability.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance (GDPR, Law 25, PIPEDA) and lead certification efforts (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001) in collaboration with IT, Product, R&D, Legal, and Data Governance.
  • Strengthen operational security through advanced detection and response (SIEM, EDR), vulnerability management, and robust business continuity plans.
  • Drive DevSecOps adoption within CI/CD pipelines and support IoT product security (secure boot, OTA updates).
  • Champion security awareness initiatives (phishing simulations, e-learning) and measure their impact.
  • Stay ahead of emerging threats and technologies — from Zero Trust to advanced IAM and compliance automation.

Qualifications

🧩 What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Recognized certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP (bonus: ISO 27001 Lead, GIAC, CIPP/E).

  • Proven expertise in Cloud Security (AWS, Azure, GCP), DevSecOps, compliance, and/or IoT security.
  • Bilingual fluency in English and French (regular collaboration with teams outside Québec).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop high-performing teams.

🧠 Leadership & Strategic Capabilities

  • Strong strategic decision-making and change management skills.
  • Experience in governance models (committees, policies, RACI, KPIs) and program delivery (OKR-driven).
  • Financial and business acumen — managing OPEX/CAPEX, ROI/TCO analysis, and build/buy decisions.
  • Skilled communicator able to translate technical risk into business impact at the executive level.
  • Experience leading vendor management, RFP processes, and contract optimization.
  • Proficiency with Agile delivery (Scrum, Kanban, ideally SAFe) and incident response leadership.
