Job Description

General Motors is building secure software into every vehicle, product, and digital experience we deliver. We are seeking a people leader to lead our Software Supply Chain Security function and help reduce risk before software reaches production.

  • Drive cross-functional decisions with engineering, platform, cloud, infrastructure, procurement, and risk teams to embed secure-by-design controls into delivery workflows.
  • Establish and improve policies, standards, and reusable guardrails for open-source software use, software provenance, build integrity, artifact security, and developer tooling.
  • Prioritize investments, allocate resources, and lead change initiatives that improve security effectiveness, operational consistency, and developer experience.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, application security, platform security, software engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • 3+ years of people leadership experience, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and organizational planning.
  • 3+ years of experience leading or owning programs in software supply chain security, secure software delivery, build pipeline security, container security, or third-party software risk.
  • Demonstrated experience working across 2 or more technical domains such as source control, build systems, artifact repositories, cloud platforms, containers, developer tooling, or software governance.
  • Experience defining, tracking, and improving operational metrics and key performance indicators for a technical or security function.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive decisions on significant technical and operational matters.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Advanced degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
  • Experience leading software supply chain security in a large, complex enterprise environment.
  • Experience with software bill of materials programs, open-source software governance, software composition analysis, artifact signing, or build provenance.
  • Experience with developer platforms, continuous integration and delivery pipelines, container platforms, cloud-native environments, or integrated development environment governance.
  • Experience leading transformation initiatives that balance security, reliability, usability, and speed for engineering teams.
