Field CISO Grand Rapids, MI or Remote

We are seeking a Field CISO to join our team! Ideally this role will work from our Headquarters in Grand Rapids, MI in a hybrid capacity, however, being fully remote is also a possibility with occasional travel to Grand Rapids, MI. Advisory CISO, Cybersecurity & Compliance

Every company needs a trusted voice in the room when the board asks, “are we secure?” For our customers, that voice is you.

We’re looking for a senior cybersecurity executive to serve as a fractional CISO for our customers, the strategic advisor who turns risk and compliance conversations into confident business decisions. You’ll sit at the intersection of sales and delivery: helping prospects see the path to a stronger security posture before they sign, then owning that relationship as their trusted advisor long after.

What you’ll actually do:

Win trust before the contract is signed. Join discovery calls as the security expert in the room. Assess a prospect’s risk posture, shape the right solution, and give sales teams the credibility that closes deals. Be the fractional security executive customers rely on. Build cybersecurity roadmaps, lead board-level briefings, and guide IT leaders and compliance programs across SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001, turning audit prep and risk mitigation into a competitive advantage instead of a headache. Translate technical risk into business language. You’ll be the person executives and boards call when they need someone to make sense of a threat landscape, a compliance gap, or a cyber insurance requirement, and tell them what to actually do about it. Shape how we deliver security, everywhere. Your fingerprints will be on our advisory methodology, our thought leadership, and the way our SOC/MDR and managed security services get positioned in the market. Execute customer advisory engagements helping customers measurably improve their security posture. What makes this role different: you’re not writing reports that sit in a drawer. You’re the executive presence that keeps customers renewing, expanding, and sleeping better at night - measured in retention, trust, and real security outcomes, not just deliverables.
