IT Security Business Solutions Manager

About the role The IT Business Solutions Manager (IT BSM) reports to the IT PMO Director and serves as the primary liaison between the IT Security group and business stakeholders. This role is responsible for ensuring IT Security and cybersecurity compliance projects are delivered on time, within scope, and on budget while maintaining high quality and alignment with business needs. A key priority will be leading the program to achieve CMMC Level 2 (Advanced) certification, including coordination and oversight of activities required to address the 93 applicable controls, following the organization’s CMMC Level 1 compliance. This multi‑year initiative is expected to span approximately two years and will require disciplined planning and sustained oversight. The IT BSM oversees project lifecycles—from planning to post‑implementation review—and ensures smooth operations of business applications within the IT Security group. The role requires strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills to support effective collaboration across IT teams, business leaders, and external partners, particularly in the context of cybersecurity governance and compliance. The BSM will work closely with the IT Security Director, the IT Security Advisor(s) and technical team, the documentation specialist, and all relevant IT and business stakeholders to ensure cohesive and coordinated delivery of cybersecurity and compliance initiatives.
