The role
Build our future together
We’re looking for a hands-on leader to own the platforms that give our security teams visibility across the enterprise. You’ll lead a team supporting the Security Monitoring function. The team builds and maintains the Splunk log ingestion pipeline, RBAC, searches, reporting, and dashboards. It also supports the systems that feed our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform, which correlates it all.
This is a player-coach role, roughly 50/50 technical work and team leadership. You’ll lead a mixed team of employees and vendor staff and act as the escalation point when monitoring platforms or security incidents need senior attention. You’ll also explain complex technical topics clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
At Regeneron, our SIEM has grown tremendously, and we support business functions beyond security, including Finance, IT, Manufacturing, and Research. We cautiously push the boundaries of the product, evaluating cutting-edge technology in our test environment and deploying capabilities that reshape how Regeneron and other users think about a SIEM.

Tips for Your Remote Information Security Lead Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote information security lead openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through general job listings.
Show your async security communication skills
Remote information security leads coordinate policy, incidents, and stakeholder updates entirely in writing. Bring writing samples, documented runbooks, or policy drafts to interviews to prove you communicate security concepts clearly across distributed teams.
Highlight distributed program leadership experience
Remote employers want evidence you have led security initiatives across teams in multiple locations without in-person oversight. Quantify the scope of programs you have managed, the number of stakeholders involved, and outcomes achieved to make your remote leadership concrete.
Prepare for remote-first interview formats
Many remote information security lead interviews include written case studies or async take-home assessments alongside video calls. Practice articulating your incident response decisions, risk prioritization logic, and program design choices clearly in both formats before your first screen.
Remote Information Security Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote information security lead job?
Remote information security lead roles go to candidates who can demonstrate strong self-direction and clear written communication alongside the technical depth employers expect. Remote hiring teams screen heavily for async collaboration skills, documented incident response experience, and the ability to coordinate distributed security programs without in-person oversight. Certifications like CISSP or CISM, a portfolio of past security initiatives, and evidence of leading cross-functional teams remotely all sharpen your candidacy.
Which companies hire remote information security leads?
Employers currently hiring remote information security leads include Fisher Investments, Gainwell Technologies, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first software companies, distributed fintech firms, and large healthcare organizations with dispersed workforces tend to hire for this role fully remotely.
Can you get a remote information security lead job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level information security lead roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Smaller remote-first startups and managed security service providers are more open to candidates building toward the lead level. Demonstrating hands-on lab work, home lab projects, a relevant certification, or a record of contributing to security programs in a junior capacity can open the door.
Do you need a degree for remote information security lead jobs?
Not always. Remote employers weigh demonstrated skills, certifications, and verifiable work outcomes alongside or instead of a formal degree for information security leads. Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CompTIA Security+, combined with a documented history of leading security initiatives, often carry more weight than a degree alone with remote hiring managers focused on output.
Which industries hire the most remote information security leads?
Most remote information security lead openings sit in Insurance, Retail, and Education, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams handling sensitive data and regulated systems, which creates sustained demand for information security leads who can manage programs and policies entirely remotely.
