Job Summary

Position Overview: We are seeking a visionary leader to drive automation initiatives across our Network Security and Engineering functions. This role will focus on designing and implementing automation strategies that enhance security posture, improve operational efficiency, and enable scalability. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical expertise with strong leadership skills to guide teams in adopting modern automation frameworks and practices. Key Responsibilities: • Strategic Leadership o Define and execute the automation roadmap for Network Security and Engineering. o Align automation initiatives with organizational security and compliance objectives. o Champion a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. • Automation Development & Integration o Lead the design, development, and deployment of automation solutions for network configuration, monitoring, and incident response. o Integrate automation tools with existing security platforms (e.g., SIEM, firewalls, IDS/IPS). o Ensure interoperability between automation systems and cloud/on-prem infrastructure. • Team Management o Build and mentor a high-performing automation team. o Collaborate with Network Engineers, Security Analysts, and DevOps teams to identify automation opportunities. o Provide technical guidance and career development support. • Governance & Compliance o Establish standards and best practices for secure automation. o Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal security policies. o Conduct regular audits and risk assessments of automated processes. • Performance & Reporting o Define KPIs to measure automation impact on security and operational efficiency. o Report progress and outcomes to senior leadership. Performance & Success Metrics: Success in this role will be measured by: • Automation Coverage: Percentage of network security and engineering processes automated within the first 12–18 months; reduction in manual intervention for routine tasks. • Incident Response Efficiency: Reduction in Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) through automated workflows; number of incidents resolved using automated playbooks. • Operational Cost Savings: Quantifiable reduction in operational costs and ROI achieved from automation investments. • Compliance & Risk Reduction: Percentage of automated processes compliant with regulatory and internal security standards; reduction in audit findings related to manual errors. • Innovation & Adoption: Number of new automation solutions deployed per quarter; adoption rate of automation tools across teams. • Team Development: Employee engagement and skill development in automation technologies; retention and growth of automation talent. Required Skills & Qualifications: • Proven experience in network security, network engineering, and automation frameworks. • Strong knowledge of: o Scripting languages (Python, PowerShell, Bash). o Automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Puppet, Chef). o Security technologies (firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, SIEM). • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). • Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills. • Ability to manage complex projects and drive organizational change. Preferred Qualifications: • Experience with Zero Trust architectures and secure DevOps practices. • Certifications such as CISSP, CCNP Security, or Certified Automation Professional. • Background in AI/ML-driven security automation is a plus.
