Job Description
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO): In Person Downtown Chicago, IL
About Caregenix:
Caregenix Solutions is a healthcare technology company modernizing its security infrastructure against fast-moving, AI-driven cyber threats. We are transitioning our security department from manual threat defense to an automated, compliant, and metrics-driven operational model — and we need a strategic leader to architect and own that transformation.
Role Summary:
As Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), you will take full ownership of Caregenix's security operations. You will lead the shift away from manual, resource-heavy monitoring toward automated defense — deploying AI-driven platforms, establishing a formal on-call escalation model, and ensuring rigorous GRC compliance across all operations. You will have executive sponsorship and the budget to build something that lasts.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Leadership
- Define and track department KPIs, actionable metrics, and formal executive reporting.
- Translate highly technical threat data into clear, objective business reports for senior management.
- Build a security culture focused on measurable outcomes, not activity theatre.
AI & Automation Integration
- Lead deployment and management of AI-driven security platforms (e.g., Cortex XSIAM).
- Automate detection, response, and escalation workflows by severity — reducing manual intervention loops.
Operational Efficiency
- Design and manage an On-Call Security Officer rotation model for critical alert escalation.
- Eliminate the need for an inefficient, manually staffed 24/7 SOC by replacing it with structured triage automation.
GRC & Compliance
- Ensure all security operations align with corporate Workforce policies and GRC guidelines.
- Own ISO 27001 compliance maintenance and audit readiness end-to-end.
Network Defense Management
- Oversee firewall configurations and enforce strict network isolation protocols.
- Ensure no unauthorized public traffic or IP whitelisting occurs outside formal approval channels.
Team Leadership & Accountability
- Manage, mentor, and build accountability within the security team.
- Ensure every team task maps directly to a measurable security improvement
Requirements and Qualifications:
Experience
- Required 12 plus years in Cybersecurity and 3 plus years in Senior Leadership Role.
Technical Expertise
- Hands-on experience deploying and managing SIEM/SOAR platforms, XDR, and AI-driven security solutions.
- Strong understanding of firewall management, network segmentation, and incident response workflows.
Compliance & Governance
- Deep GRC expertise with practical ISO 27001 audit and maintenance experience.
- Strict respect for corporate governance, physical infrastructure, and on-site network boundary policies.
Preferred Certifications (one or more)
- CISSP — Certified Information Systems Security Professional
- CISM — Certified Information Security Manager
- ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
- CEH — Certified Ethical Hacker
- PEH — Practical Ethical Hacker
Schedule & Hours:
- Monday - Friday Corporate Hours
- In person job location: 455 N Cityfront Plaza Dr. Suite 2515 Chicago, IL 60611
Benefits:
- 401(k)
- Health insurance
