CLI Take
Broader than the title suggests
This role reads VP-equivalent despite being advertised as “Director of Information Security” — the stated scope is wider than the employer's title implies. CLI's analysis of the posting describes a strategic build or transformation mandate, and it reports to Chief Information Officer and carries SOX accountability. Position requires as many hours needed to fulfill the daily and weekly obligations required... Working long days including evenings and weekends can be required for this position. Total compensation and team size are not disclosed and remain the main open questions before pursuing it.
