  • Glocomms
  • Plano, TX

Job Description

This role is located in the DFW Metroplex (Plano). Interested candidates should be a commutable distance (or willing to relocate) and able to come onsite up to 5x/week.

Glocomms is partnered with a premier financial services organization actively building out their capabilities in next-generation digital products to appoint a transformative Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

As the senior-most security executive, the CISO will serve as a critical member of the executive leadership team, shaping enterprise risk posture and influencing digital strategy from the ground up. The firm's expansion into blockchain-based services and digital asset products presents an exceptional opportunity for a security leader to build a future-proof security function-prior experience in digital assets is welcomed but not required .

Key Areas of Responsibility:

Enterprise Security Strategy & Execution

  • Define, implement, and continuously refine the organization's enterprise security vision, roadmap, and operating model in alignment with business objectives and technology strategy.
  • Lead a comprehensive, multi-layered information security program that covers infrastructure, applications, data, and emerging product lines including digital assets and blockchain.
  • Drive strategic security planning, ensuring the program scales with the organization's evolving regulatory obligations and risk profile.

Technical Security Architecture & Operations

  • Oversee the design, implementation, and management of security controls across core domains including:
  • Firewall architecture, VPNs, LAN/WAN security, IDS/IPS, network flow monitoring, and wireless defense
  • Authentication and authorization systems, encryption, and cryptographic key management
  • Blockchain security controls: nodes, smart contracts, APIs (experience in this area is a plus, not a requirement)
  • Physical security, RFID, access control, and video surveillance systems
  • Direct the security lifecycle of technology systems from architecture through operations, collaborating with engineering and infrastructure teams.

Risk Management & Regulatory Compliance

  • Own the firm's cyber risk management framework, including risk assessments, internal controls, governance, and third-party risk oversight.
  • Ensure enterprise-wide compliance with applicable regulations, including BSA/AML, GLBA, SOX, GDPR, and state/federal privacy laws.
  • Oversee internal and external audits, security testing, and regulatory engagements.
  • Lead and mature the incident response, forensics, and crisis management capabilities, including evidence preservation and post-incident reviews.

Executive Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Lead and develop a high-performing Security and Network Engineering team, providing mentorship, career development, and performance oversight.
  • Serve as the security voice at the executive table, engaging regularly with the Board, CEO, CTO, legal, compliance, and business unit leaders.
  • Champion cross-functional collaboration, ensuring security is integrated into product development, infrastructure, legal, and operations.

Vendor Management & External Engagement

  • Oversee the evaluation, selection, and management of security vendors, MSSPs, and emerging technologies.
  • Drive technical contract negotiation, budget planning, and strategic partnerships.
  • Act as a primary liaison to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and external auditors during investigations or reviews.

Culture, Innovation & Awareness

  • Lead enterprise security awareness and training programs, cultivating a strong security culture at all levels.
  • Foster a mindset of security innovation, staying ahead of emerging technologies and threat trends-especially those relevant to financial services and blockchain.
  • Represent the firm in external forums, working groups, and industry consortiums to influence best practices and stay informed.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred in a technical or relevant discipline.
  • 15+ years of progressive IT and information security leadership, ideally within financial services, banking, or fintech environments.
  • Strong command of modern security architecture, technologies, frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001), and controls across infrastructure, network, and cloud.
  • Demonstrated experience leading large-scale security programs, regulatory compliance initiatives, and security operations functions.
  • Adept at managing technical teams and external partners, with a track record of effective communication with C-level executives and Boards.
  • Previous exposure to blockchain, cryptocurrency, or digital asset security is a plus-but not required.

Certifications (Preferred but not required):

  • CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, CCSP, or other recognized security credentials.

The right candidate will be a seasoned security executive who can lead with both technical depth and strategic foresight. This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of financial cybersecurity in a dynamic and evolving landscape - interested candidates should apply immediately.
