First, I'd like to thank those of you who responded to my initial posting. This list is a great resource, evidenced by the quality of the people who responded. I am making an effort to contact each of you individually but if I can't, I apologize. There is one adjustment that I need to make regarding the location of this position. The company is located in Cincinatti, OH and for the time being, they are only interested in local candidates or those that can self-relocate. I am sure there are some qualified people that meet this requirement but based on my experience, I'm pretty sure we'll need to broaden the scope of the search. The client and I agreed to work within these parameters for the next two weeks before re-evaluating the strategy and looking at relocation candidates. Again, thanks for the great responses and your understanding. I hope to work with all of you in the future.

College degree required Industry training, certifications desired The inside scoop: This is a great job for those of you who have come up through the ranks of enterprise security engineering and have experience managing a mission-critical security infrastructure team. In its current state, the team is somewhat undisciplined and lacking a unified focus. The manager will need to constructively infuse the team with structure, unity and vision. The people are good, they just need someone to provide support and strategic direction. It’s not a “cake walk” by any means but the role is highly visible and extremely important within the organization. The person that will successfully fill this role must have ability, confidence, credibility and guts. The job reports to the Director of Security and will interface heavily with the Enterprise Policy and Architecture group. If you are qualified and interested, drop a line to discuss. I also have similar jobs with other clients in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio. Ohio seems to be the hot place for corporate security jobs. Go figure.
