TL;DR · Lead Network Security Analyst

Lead, Network Security Analyst As a member of the Network Security Strategy & Analysis team within the ISO Infrastructure Security group, you will serve as a senior individual contributor focused on assessing enterprise network security capabilities. You will identify risk and technical debt while developing actionable strategies for Zero Trust, network segmentation, network access control, and modernization. Your daily work involves analyzing architecture, configuration, telemetry, and vulnerability data across campus, data center, and cloud environments to create prioritized roadmaps and transition plans. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate complex analysis into measurable risk reduction. Key technologies include firewalls, secure web gateways, proxies, ZTNA, VPNs, and DNS security using platforms like Check Point, Cisco, and Zscaler. You will also leverage NIST frameworks, ISO standards, and SIEM analytics to provide expert guidance on infrastructure hardening and policy alignment.

What you'll do

  • Conduct complex current-state assessments of network security architecture, controls, and technical debt across cloud and on-premise environments.
  • Develop strategic roadmaps and target-state architectures for Zero Trust, network segmentation, and NAC capabilities.
  • Analyze telemetry, configuration, and vulnerability data to identify systemic risks and opportunities for hardening the environment.
  • Provide technical guidance and lead workstreams for less-experienced team members without direct management responsibility.
  • Partner with engineering teams to validate findings, define remediation approaches, and drive actions to completion.
  • Participate in security architecture reviews by documenting requirements, risk assessments, and recommended decisions.
  • Create reusable reference architectures, security patterns, and decision frameworks aligned with enterprise standards.
  • Communicate complex risks and evidence-based recommendations to technical teams and senior leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience in related fields.
  • Advanced network security engineering, architecture, advisory, or strategy experience in a large and complex enterprise environment.
  • Ability to independently structure ambiguous problems, develop analysis plans, and deliver clear recommendations with minimal guidance.
  • Ability to functionally lead workstreams, mentor others, and collaborate across diverse teams.
  • Experience with agile delivery or program management methods and cross-functional execution.
  • Advanced experience with enterprise network architecture including firewalls, ZTNA, VPN, DNS security, WAF, and load balancers.
  • Expertise in Zero Trust principles, network segmentation, NAC strategy, and information security frameworks like NIST and ISO 27000.
  • CISSP, CCSP, CISM, SANS GIAC, or advanced vendor-specific certifications (preferred); experience driving large-scale transformation programs (preferred).
