This is a pivotal opportunity to significantly influence RX's security posture, bridge the gap between strategic vision and operational execution, and champion best-in-class security practices across a global organization.

This role is more than just managing risks; it's about actively shaping RX's security direction.

• Strategic Influence: Play a key role on the GTech Operations Leadership Team, directly influencing both strategic and operational priorities. Your insights and recommendations will have a direct impact on the company's security direction.
• Leadership in Identity & Access Management (IAM): Lead the design and implementation of a modern, effective IAM framework. This is a chance to build and refine critical security processes that underpin the entire global business.
• Global Impact: Contribute to the security of a truly global organization with a presence in 25 countries. Your work will protect and enable a diverse range of industry sectors.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

• Bridging Strategy and Execution: This role requires you to be adept at translating the CISO Office's strategic vision into actionable plans for technical teams. Your ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly and concisely will be paramount.
• Technical Depth & Breadth: A strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI), industry security frameworks (like NIST), and authentication protocols is essential. Hands-on experience with IAM tools such as Saviynt, and proficiency in scripting/automation (PowerShell, Python), will be highly advantageous.
• Proactive Risk Management: You'll be responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks and vulnerabilities. This requires a proactive, analytical, and solutions-oriented mindset.
• Incident Response Leadership: Be prepared to lead responses to security incidents, particularly those related to identity and access. This demands a calm and decisive approach under pressure.
• Adaptability in a Fast-Paced World: The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving. Candidates who are adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking, with a keen interest in emerging threats and technologies, will excel in this role.
