Cybersecurity Operations Lead in Chennai, भारत

Dear Aspirant!

We empower our people to stay resilient and relevant in a constantly changing world. We’re looking for people who are always searching for creative ways to grow and learn. People who want to make a real impact, now and in the future. Does that sound like you? Then it seems like you’d make a great addition to our vibrant international team.

We are looking for: Cybersecurity Operations Lead

You’ll make an impact by:

• Lead day-to-day operations across vulnerability management, remediation coordination, ACP administration, operational reporting, and security governance support.
• Own operational workflows, workload distribution, queue health, backlog tracking, aging management, SLA monitoring, and escalation of overdue or blocked activities.
• Coordinate vulnerability remediation with asset owners, infrastructure teams, application teams, OT/plant stakeholders, vendors, and designated onshore/DTS/C&T SMEs.
• Ensure vulnerability findings are processed consistently using severity categories, prioritization rules, remediation SLAs and escalation criteria approved through the agreed governance process.
• Coordinate remediation planning and track agreed actions; escalate business-impact assessments, risk determinations, residual-risk decisions, and production-sensitive remediation approvals to the designated authority.
• Oversee ACP administrative workflows, including documentation completeness, evidence collection, asset-record maintenance, review scheduling, RTP action tracking, exception tracking, and status reporting.
• Ensure ACP records and protection-concept documentation reflect decisions and technical inputs provided or validated by the responsible Asset Owner and DTS/C&T SME; do not independently approve protection requirements or protection concepts.
• Own operational KPIs, service capacity planning, backlog and aging metrics, workload forecasting, staffing inputs, and management reporting.
• Develop and maintain operating procedures, workflow guidance, RACI definitions, escalation paths, reporting standards, and quality checks for consistent service delivery.
• Facilitate operational reviews with stakeholders, communicate dependencies and delivery risks, and ensure decisions and actions are assigned to authorized owners.
• Drive continuous improvement and automation for ticket workflows, evidence tracking, reporting, and repeatable operational tasks.
• Mentor analysts and engineers on process execution, documentation quality, stakeholder coordination, and consistent application of approved procedures.
• Support audit readiness by ensuring operational records, evidence references, status reports, and action logs are complete and retrievable.
• Provide operational leadership and technical coordination for vulnerability remediation and ACP activities. Escalate risk acceptance, OT architecture, compensating-control selection, ACP technical approval, and production-impacting remediation decisions to designated DTS/C&T SMEs.
• For OT/manufacturing environments—including SCADA, substations, utilities, HMI, PLC, RTU, and DCS—ensure work follows established change-control processes and is coordinated with plant operations and the designated technical authority.
• Track and report OT-related remediation dependencies, vendor constraints, maintenance-window requirements, and unresolved blockers without independently authorizing production changes.

Use your skills to move the world forward!

• B.E./B.Tech. in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related discipline; postgraduate qualification is preferred.
• Typically 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT security operations, vulnerability management, security governance, or related domains.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating technical operations, cross-functional stakeholders, service delivery, and operational reporting.
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, OT-connected, or critical-infrastructure environments is preferred.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CEH, GIAC, ISO 27001, IEC 62443, or equivalent are preferred.
• Strong experience in cybersecurity operations, vulnerability management processes, remediation coordination, and operational service delivery.
• Ability to coordinate teams and stakeholders while applying established prioritization rules, SLAs, escalation criteria, and governance processes.
• Good understanding of vulnerability concepts, CVE/CVSS, scan findings, remediation workflows, evidence-based closure, and exception tracking.
• Experience with vulnerability-management platforms such as Tenable, Qualys, Wiz, Rapid7, or equivalent.
• Experience managing KPIs, operational dashboards, backlog, aging, workload forecasting, capacity utilization, and management reporting.
• Working knowledge of ACP, security governance, asset inventories, evidence management, RTP/action tracking, and audit preparation.
• Ability to interpret technical information and coordinate technical work while escalating risk decisions and technical approvals to authorized SMEs.
• Understanding of IT/OT environments, including SCADA, substations, utilities, HMI, PLC, RTU, DCS, and industrial control systems.
• Awareness of OT-specific constraints such as production availability, safety, maintenance windows, vendor dependencies, legacy assets, and plant change-control procedures.
• Familiarity with security frameworks such as ISO 27001, IEC 62443, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, or equivalent is preferred.
• Experience with ticketing/workflow tools, reporting platforms, and process automation; scripting or API automation is an advantage.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, facilitation, escalation, and team mentoring skills.
• Ability to maintain clear operational documentation and communicate status, blockers, dependencies, and trends to technical and management audiences.
