• Support audit and regulatory readiness by identifying control gaps, coordinating remediation, and ensuring required documentation is complete and accurate.

• Communicate cyber risks, policies, and changes in clear, business-friendly terms; build strong cross-functional relationships to influence outcomes.

• Define and track key performance indicators, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement in cyber posture in partnership with technical teams.

• Promote a culture of security, accountability, and operational excellence aligned with RTX CORE principles.

• Proven understanding of information security practices/frameworks including identifying risks, emerging cyber security threats, and risk mitigation processes.

• Demonstrated experience in team leadership and ability to lead through influence to drive creation and execution of operational plans and service delivery

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Ability to effectively lead and inspire cross-functional teams by leveraging influence, fostering collaboration and building consensus to drive cybersecurity initiatives and enhance security posture.

• Adept at understanding business strategy, planning, processes, ability to inject cybersecurity into the business through teamwork and influence.

• Ability to write succinct briefings, presentations, and reports to convey analysis, trends, strategies and then use effective communication skills to present analytical data and tailor the message to a variety of technical and non-technical audiences.

• Able to attain and preserve credibility with the team through sustained cyber, digital and/or aerospace & defense industry knowledge.

• Strong deductive reasoning, critical thinking, prioritization and follow through with attention to detail while seeking opportunities to innovate and excel.

• Adaptive to change and comfortable with navigating complex, evolving organization structures.

• Passion in working with customers and functional partners, building strong trust relationships, and championing an inclusive environment that encourages different viewpoints and ideas.
