This role defines the strategy, operating model, and measurement of a scalable, intelligence-driven Social Engineering Program that integrates multi-channel simulation, targeted awareness, and executive-level risk insight. The role addresses rapidly evolving, AI-enabled threats by strengthening employee decision-making, reducing human-driven risk, and enabling data-driven visibility into organizational security behavior. Qualifications: Strong experience in social engineering, security awareness, cybersecurity and risk management. Proven ability to design and scale enterprise programs and operating models. Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret behavioral data and translate insights into action. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to distill complex threats into clear, executive-level messaging. Experience working across multiple stakeholders and teams in a complex, fast-paced environment. Program Strategy & Capability Development: Establish and mature an enterprise-wide human risk reduction capability aligned to evolving threat landscapes. Define and implement the Social Engineering Program strategy, operating model, and governance framework. Standardize program design, execution, and measurement across Enterprise Security and supporting teams. Continuously evolve program capabilities to address emerging threats, including AI-enabled and multi-channel attacks. Simulation Design & Execution: Lead end-to-end planning and execution of social engineering simulations across phishing, vishing, smishing, and emerging channels (e.g., deepfakes). Develop realistic, role-based scenarios reflecting current attacker techniques and business-relevant risks. Ensure simulations are intelligence-driven, risk-based, and aligned to organizational priorities. Program Operations & Coordination: Coordinate day-to-day delivery of simulation activities across tools, vendors, and internal stakeholders. Ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with enterprise standards, policies, and processes. Drive efficiency and scalability through standardized execution models and vendor alignment. Evaluate any related incidents and ensure proper reporting and remediations are incorporated into social engineering or other relevant programs Awareness & Behavior Reinforcement: Integrate simulation outcomes with targeted awareness and training initiatives to drive behavior change. Support development of focused interventions for high-risk user groups and behaviors. Reinforce a culture of security awareness through continuous, real-world exposure to threats. Metrics, Analytics & Reporting: Develop and maintain standardized metrics to measure human risk, program performance, and behavioral trends. Analyze simulation data (e.g., click rates, reporting behavior, response patterns) to generate actionable insights. Deliver executive-level reporting and dashboards that provide clear visibility into human risk across the enterprise. Improve the quality, consistency, and reliability of human risk data for decision-making. Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Detection & Response, Privacy, HR, and Corporate Communications to align simulations with incident response, policy, and messaging. Engage stakeholders across the organization to embed program objectives and drive adoption. Provide subject matter expertise on social engineering risk to leadership and enterprise partners.

The Cybersecurity Training Specialist is responsible for leading the enterprise human risk reduction capability and defining the strategy for a Social Engineering Program. This includes planning and executing simulations, coordinating program operations, and integrating outcomes with awareness initiatives.

Candidates should have strong experience in social engineering, security awareness, and risk management, along with excellent communication and analytical skills. Proven ability to design and scale enterprise programs is essential.
