An opportunity for a Global IT Security Director to join a multi-$B global technology innovator at a genuinely interesting moment: newly independent, publicly listed, and with serious M&A growth ambitions.

We’re looking for an exceptional GRC-focused Security leader with international, MNC exposure, to lead and integrate cybersecurity across a growing group of diverse businesses. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, read on.

The Opportunity

The Global Security Director is a 100% remote position (optimally East Coast/Central US home-based) with periodic travel and is part of the Veralto Global Security senior leadership team, reporting to the VP, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

The jobholder will lead a small global team that provides fully centralized security services across all 15 Veralto Operating Companies (OpCos), further developing relationships and partnering with technical and business leaders to mature capabilities across governance, risk and compliance, and third-party risk. Planned further M&A activity ensures ongoing further growth of responsibilities and role expansion.

The position will also collaborate closely with security architecture and engineering, security operations and incident response, vulnerability and exposure management, application & product security, cloud and data security. As a senior leader, you’ll set direction, remove obstacles, develop talent, proactively identify & mitigate risks, and ensure delivery of key outcomes through clear priorities, metrics, and stakeholder alignment.

The role provides the chance to work closely with a group of very different businesses (industrial & water quality equipment manufacturing, laser technology, software, SaaS, AI etc) and provides exceptional career development opportunities into other senior IT leadership positions across Veralto.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead and integrate cybersecurity capabilities across Veralto, spanning governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and third-party risk.
• Collaborate and support security architecture, identity and access management (IAM), security operations and incident response, vulnerability and exposure management, application security, cloud and data security, and operations technology OT security.
• Partner with IT and OT leaders across OpCos to implement consistent security standards and capabilities across multiple global environments.
• Establish and mature security operating processes (intake, prioritization, risk acceptance, exception handling, reporting, and governance) and ensure effective execution through strong engagement with OpCo personnel.
• Build multi-year roadmaps, define resource needs, and lead programs and projects that measurably reduce risk. Proactively identify and implement changes with a continuous improvement mindset.
• Develop, coordinate, and lead working groups that enable security knowledge-sharing, standardization, and adoption across OpCos.
• Assess current capabilities and risk across OpCos, translate gaps into prioritized plans, and drive implementation with clear ownership, timelines, and success metrics.
• Oversee and manage the performance of external vendors and managed service providers, ensuring strong governance, service quality, and alignment to outcomes.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of internal staff, contractors, and managed service providers; build a high-performing culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Own budget and performance management, including annual planning, KPI/KRI reporting, and multi-year investment roadmaps; communicate progress, risk, and trade-offs to senior stakeholders.
  

Your Experience

• 10+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience in large, international company environments with demonstrated impact across multiple domains (e.g., security operations, incident response, IAM, GRC, vulnerability/exposure management, application security, cloud/data security, and 3rd-party risk)
• 10+ years of experience leading, coaching and developing security teams, including budget management and multi-year program delivery
• Strong communication and influencing skills. Keen to understand each individual OpCo, build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders and be flexible to adapt communication style accordingly and balance security protection with commercial growth demands.
• Experience leading a hybrid security delivery model leveraging strategic partners and managed service providers, with strong vendor governance and service management discipline.
• Strong knowledge of NIST standards and associated controls and functions; ability to translate frameworks into practical operating processes, metrics, and risk-based prioritization.
• Security certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or GIAC certifications preferred. Understanding of SOX, CRA and AI security is useful but not mandatory.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field preferred (or equivalent practical experience).
• Ability to receive and maintain a security clearance and work East Coast-aligned hours
