About

Step into a high-impact role where you’ll shape and elevate an organization’s cybersecurity posture—owning and driving a critical PCI compliance program from the ground up. This is not a support role—you will lead strategy, execution, and continuous improvement from day one.

In this position, you’ll serve as a senior security consultant, identifying vulnerabilities, closing security gaps, and leading enterprise-wide initiatives.

• Lead PCI compliance initiatives end-to-end, including gap assessments and roadmap execution
• Develop and enhance security policies, standards, and procedures
• Conduct complex risk assessments, including third-party/vendor risk
• Lead incident response efforts and guide advanced security investigations
• Oversee vulnerability management and strengthen security operations
• Drive security awareness programs and mentor internal teams on best practices
• Collaborate with cybersecurity engineers and IT leadership to enhance tools and processes
• Evaluate emerging threats and implement forward-looking security solutions

What You Bring:

• 8–12 years of cybersecurity experience, with proven ownership of PCI compliance programs
• Strong expertise in risk assessments, incident response, and security operations
• Experience with governance, risk, and compliance tools (e.g., Archer)
• Exceptional documentation, organization, and project management skills
• Ability to communicate effectively with executive leadership

Nice to Have:

• QSA or ISA certification
• Healthcare industry experience

Additional Details:

• 12-month contract with strong potential for extension
• Hybrid schedule (2–3 days onsite in Boise, ID)
• Competitive hourly rate

If you’re a hands-on cybersecurity leader who thrives on ownership, strategy, and execution—this is an opportunity to make a measurable impact.
