Overview

The IT Department is seeking a Cybersecurity Program Supervisor. This role is a key leadership role responsible for guiding and advancing the County's cybersecurity strategy. This position focuses on leading security programs, shaping policy and direction, and ensuring the County's systems, data, and services are protected in alignment with broader organizational priorities.

This is a leadership-first role for someone who excels at bringing people, priorities, and strategy together. The IT Security Program Manager will partner closely with County leadership, technology teams, and business stakeholders to set direction, manage enterprise-level risk, strengthen security practices, and promote a strong culture of security awareness across the organization. While the role supports a team of skilled technical professionals, the emphasis is on program leadership, influence, and organizational impact rather than hands-on technical execution.

Schedule:

• Standard hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
• Hybrid schedule with expectation of in-office presence 2 - 3 days per week.

• Occasional evening, weekend, or overtime work as operational needs require.

To be considered for this position, you must upload a resume and a cover letter.
