Vice President, Global Server Infrastructure

At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you’re passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.

Broadridge is hiring! We are seeking a seasoned executive leader to oversee our global trading systems server infrastructure while serving as the organization's senior authority on information security strategy. This role demands a leader who operates at the intersection of cyber defense, strategic planning, and organizational leadership, requiring someone who can build and inspire world-class distributed teams, safeguard critical trading server environments, and communicate risk posture effectively to the senior management.

This is not a hands-on technical role. It is a strategic management position requiring mastery of people leadership, cybersecurity governance, and long-range planning.

Responsibilities:

People Leadership & Team Building

• Lead, mentor, and scale a globally distributed infrastructure and security organization spanning multiple time zones and geographies

• Recruit, retain, and develop top-tier talent; foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Establish clear career development paths, succession planning, and performance frameworks for all direct and indirect reports

• Drive organizational design to ensure optimal coverage of 24/7 operations worldwide

Information Security & Risk Governance

• Serve as the senior security executive accountable for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all trading server infrastructure assets

• Define and execute the enterprise information security strategy, policies, standards, and frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2)

• Own the security risk register; present cyber risk exposure, mitigation strategies, and incident reports to senior leadership

• Own incident response governance: ensure robust playbooks, regular tabletop exercises, and executive-level crisis communication protocols

• Drive a security-by-design culture across all infrastructure engineering practices, embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, automation workflows, and AI-driven operations

• Oversee vulnerability lifecycle management—from discovery through remediation SLA enforcement—across all globally distributed assets

• Ensure compliance with all applicable financial regulatory requirements (SEC, FINRA, FCA, MAS, or equivalent) and manage relationships with internal/external auditors

Infrastructure Oversight & Strategy

• Provide strategic direction for on-premises server and hybrid-cloud environments supporting low-latency trading systems, market data, and exchange connectivity

• Develop and maintain a rolling infrastructure and cybersecurity roadmap tied to business growth, regulatory evolution, and threat landscape shifts

• Lead strategic initiatives: technical debt elimination, platform standardization, EOL remediation, and next-generation infrastructure adoption

• Define investment cases for the executive leadership—balancing cyber resilience spending against operational efficiency gains

• Establish OKRs and KPIs that connect cybersecurity and infrastructure performance to business outcomes

• Drive convergence between infrastructure operations and development teams through strategic CI/CD integration and infrastructure-as-code adoption—without requiring hands-on technical execution

• Identify and pilot emerging technologies—AI/ML for threat detection, automated response orchestration, predictive infrastructure health—translating innovation into operational advantage

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive leadership in cybersecurity and/or infrastructure management within financial services, electronic trading, or capital markets

• Prior experience as a CISO, Deputy CISO, or equivalent senior information security leadership role

• Proven track record of building, scaling, and leading high-performing globally distributed teams with personnel across multiple regions

• Deep familiarity with regulatory and audit frameworks relevant to trading firms: SOX, SEC/FINRA, FCA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001

• Exceptional executive communication skills with direct experience presenting to Boards of Directors, audit committees, and C-level stakeholders

• Experience managing vendor relationships, budgets in excess of $10M, and cross-functional initiatives

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Business Administration, or related field

• Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, or CRISC

• Familiarity (strategic/oversight level) with:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux and hardened OS environments

  • Physical and virtual server infrastructure (VMware, KVM, bare-metal)

  • Automation and configuration management (Ansible, Terraform, Puppet)

  • Infrastructure-as-Code practices and GitOps workflows

  • AI/ML applications in cybersecurity (behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, automated remediation)

  • Trading exchange connectivity, ultra-low-latency architectures, and co-location operations

• Experience leading cybersecurity transformation programs in environments with significant legacy technical debt

• Track record of integrating security operations with DevOps/SRE cultures

• Background navigating M&A-driven technology integrations

Compensation Range: The salary range for this position is between $220,000 - $260,000 USD. Broadridge considers various factors when evaluating a candidate's final salary including, but not limited to, relevant experience, location, skills, international locations and education.
