Hong Leong Bank Berhad Hiring! Full Time Senior Security Advisor - Technical Project Manager in Selangor - Ricebowl

Overview

We are seeking an experienced and versatile Senior Security Advisor & Technical Project Manager to bridge the gap between complex cybersecurity engineering and high-impact business delivery.

In this dual-capability role, you will act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and clients—architecting resilient security postures, steering critical incident response scenarios, and leading end-to-end technical security projects. You aren’t just overseeing project schedules; you have the deep technical chops to evaluate architectures, challenge technical designs, and guide incident handling when high-severity threats emerge.

Responsibilities:

Strategic Security Advisory & Architecture

• Security Maturity & Roadmaps: Evaluate organizational security maturity, compliance gaps and threat models to deliver actionable, business-aligned security roadmaps.
• Architecture & Secure Design: Assess and guide secure architecture patterns across cloud, hybrid environments, zero-trust frameworks, network defense, and IAM systems.
• Architecture Review Board (ARB) Alignment: Serve as the primary security engineering liaison to the ARB, ensuring proposed solutions align smoothly with enterprise architecture standards.
• Solution Advisory: Provide hands-on security architecture guidance to project delivery teams from project inception through post-implementation review.

Incident Response, Cyber Resilience & Escalations

• Major Incident Oversight: Act as the senior technical escalation lead for high-severity (P1/P2) security incidents, breach responses, threat hunting escalations, and operational outages.
• Root-Cause Analysis (RCA): Direct structural RCAs following critical incidents and conduct analyses on recurring operational bottlenecks, legacy technical debt, and friction points.
• Continuous Optimization: Direct remediation roadmaps to ensure long-term resilience and feed operational learnings back into delivery models to streamline engineering workflows.

Commercial & Procurement Ownership

• RFP/RFI Technical Leadership: Drive technical requirements and security evaluations for RFIs/RFPs, working directly with Procurement to evaluate and select vendors, software, and third-party partners.
• Vendor & Scope Management: Partner with business stakeholders and procurement to ensure vendor SOWs align with delivery outcomes, cost controls, and operational expectations.

Technical Project & Delivery Management

• End-to-End Delivery: Scope, budget, resource, and manage complex cybersecurity projects (e.g., SIEM/SOAR deployments, Cloud Migrations, SOC transformations, Zero Trust implementations).
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Direct cross-functional teams of security engineers, architects, developers, and third-party vendors.
• Executive Stakeholder Management: Bridge technical and executive conversations by translating complex technical risks into clear, business-focused insights for C-level leadership.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Experience

• 8+ years in information security, with at least 3–5 years leading complex technical projects or consulting engagements.
• Proven track record evaluating and advising on enterprise security architectures and cloud security designs.
• Direct, hands-on experience in Incident Response (IR), threat analysis, or SOC operations.

Technical Proficiencies

• Frameworks & Architecture: In-depth knowledge of Security Architecture principles (Zero Trust, NIST CSF, ISO 27001).
• Incident Response & Forensics: Practical understanding of the IR lifecycle (NIST / SANS framework), SIEM/EDR logs, packet analysis, and digital forensics fundamentals.
• Cloud & Modern Infrastructure: Hands-on familiarity with security controls in AWS, Azure, or GCP, as well as modern enterprise stack technologies (Container security, API security, CI/CD security).
