Cyber Security Project Manager

Job Title: Cyber Security Project Manager

Job Location: Deerfield Beach, FL (Hybrid - 3 Days a
week onsite)

Duration: Multi - Year Contract

Overview

Our client is standing a new
in-house security program built to address the rapidly evolving threat
landscape created by AI. As AI accelerates both the volume and sophistication
of attacks, the organization is investing in a dedicated program to harden its
endpoint, application, and vulnerability management posture.

The program spans multiple
concurrent technical work streams. Two Project Managers are being added to
drive execution across all of them, partnering closely with the engineering
leads who own each stream.

This is a hands-on, technically
grounded PM role. You will not be managing a generic IT portfolio — you will be
embedded in cybersecurity work and expected to speak the language of the
engineers you support.

 Key Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end
  delivery across multiple parallel cybersecurity work streams, owning
  schedule, scope, dependencies, and risk for each
• Partner daily with technical
  work stream leads to translate engineering activity into clear plans,
  milestones, and executive-ready status
• Manage projects using a
  waterfall delivery methodology — build and maintain detailed project
  plans, phase gates, and milestone tracking
• Coordinate delivery
  across security domains including application packaging, endpoint policy
  and permission management (governing what applications users can install),
  patch management, and vulnerability remediation
• Identify cross-stream
  dependencies and resource conflicts early, and escalate with a recommended
  path forward
• Maintain project
  documentation, issue and risk logs, and status reporting for program
  leadership
• Track work in Azure
  DevOps (ADO) and keep the board current as a system of record
• Facilitate working
  sessions, stakeholder reviews, and phase-gate checkpoints across technical
  and business stakeholders

 Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of project
  management experience, with a substantial portion supporting cybersecurity
  or infrastructure programs
• Demonstrated technical
  fluency in security operations — able to hold a credible conversation
  about patch cycles, CVEs and vulnerability severity, application packaging
  and deployment, and endpoint policy enforcement
• Proven track record
  managing multiple concurrent work streams and technical stakeholders
  simultaneously
• Strong written and
  verbal communication skills, including status reporting to senior
  stakeholders
• Working familiarity with
  Azure DevOps or a comparable work-tracking tool
• Able to work onsite
  three days per week; must be local to [City, State]

 Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience
  delivering with a waterfall methodology (detailed project plans, defined
  phases, milestone and gate management)
• Prior experience
  supporting a security program stood up from scratch, or a similar 0-to-1
  program environment
• Exposure to AI-driven
  threat vectors and how they change traditional security response
• Background in endpoint
  management, SCCM/Intune, or enterprise software deployment
• Experience in a regulated
  or enterprise-scale environment

 Notes

• PMP certification is not
  required. Practical delivery experience in a technical security environment is
  weighted more heavily than certification.
• Agile/Scrum experience
  is not required. This program runs on a waterfall model; candidates whose entire background
  is Agile-only should be screened carefully for fit.
