The Cyber Operations Manager serves as the operational backbone for cybersecurity activities across Safran USA, bridging the gap between global strategy and local execution. This position is uniquely structured to manage two distinct but integrated environments: standard (non-regulated) IT settings and U.S. regulated environments. By maintaining a solid-line report to the Safran USA CISO and a dotted-line functional relationship to the Safran Group Cyber Operations Manager, the role ensures full alignment with global cyber strategy and tooling while preserving essential U.S. regulatory control and authority.
Approximately 80% of the role focuses on standard environments, where the manager acts as the U.S. operational extension of the Safran Group Global SOC. In this capacity, the role ensures local execution of security monitoring, incident response, and vulnerability management, enforcing Group-defined processes and standards. The manager coordinates incident response activities in strict alignment with Group CERT and Global SOC procedures, ensuring proper integration of U.S. environments into centralized monitoring and dashboards.
The remaining 20% of the scope addresses regulated U.S. environments, where the role prioritizes compliance and operational control specific to U.S. regulations. This dual-scope structure allows Safran USA to leverage the efficiency of global operations while maintaining the necessary autonomy to meet local legal and compliance requirements.
This role operates at the intersection of global collaboration and local governance. Key interfaces include the Safran USA CIO, the Safran Group CISO, the Group Cyber Operations Team, and various U.S.-based Safran companies. The position also requires close coordination with Export Control, Legal, and Compliance teams, as well as leadership from Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) SOC and Incident Response functions. Success in this role requires the ability to provide local operational context to global teams during investigations while contributing to the continuous improvement of detection use cases and SOC processes.
