The Role

About the role:

At Kyndryl, we are looking for a Cybersecurity Manager specialised in Zero Trust architectures, with a profile that combines deep technical execution and strategic vision. You will lead security transformation projects aligned with the “never trust, always verify” model, designing and implementing end-to-end Zero Trust architectures in international client environments—from maturity assessment to the deployment of identity, microsegmentation, and access control.

Responsibilities:

Zero Trust Architecture & Design

• Define and implement Zero Trust adoption strategies and roadmaps aligned with frameworks (NIST SP 800-207, CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model).
• Design reference architectures based on Zero Trust pillars: identity, devices, networks, applications/workloads, and data.
• Conduct Zero Trust maturity assessments and translate them into risk-prioritised implementation plans.

Identity & Access (ZTNA / IAM)

• Implement Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, replacing traditional VPN access.
• Design and integrate IAM, MFA, conditional access, and least privilege models (least privilege, JIT/PAM).
• Define dynamic access policies based on context, identity, and device posture.

Segmentation & Workload Protection

• Design and deploy network and workload microsegmentation (on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments).
• Integrate security controls into cloud environments and workloads (CASB, CWPP, SSE/SASE).
• Implement data control and encryption based on classification and sensitivity.

Execution, Governance & Resilience

• Manage technical and functional security projects, ensuring scope, timelines, and quality.
• Define and implement processes associated with the Zero Trust model: identity management, change management, and hardening.
• Validate architecture through security testing (phishing, ransomware, red teaming exercises) and response simulations.

Compliance & Business Development

• Align Zero Trust implementations with regulatory requirements (GDPR, ENS, NIS2, DORA) and certifications (ISO 27001).
• Participate in pre-sales, technical proposal defence, and solution design for clients.

Who You Are

Requirements:

Mandatory

• Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Science/Software Engineering, or equivalent.
• Minimum 6 years in cybersecurity projects, with proven experience designing or implementing Zero Trust architectures in international environments.
• Hands-on technical experience in several of the following areas: IAM/MFA, ZTNA, microsegmentation, SASE/SSE, cloud security (Azure, AWS or GCP).
• Advanced English (written and spoken).

Preferred

• Cybersecurity certifications: CISSP, CISM, CCSP, or vendor certifications (Zscaler, Microsoft, Palo Alto, Okta, etc.).
• Experience with NIST frameworks and Zero Trust maturity models.
• Knowledge of DevSecOps and Infrastructure as Code.
