Senior Cyber Project Manager

Join Centric Consulting – A Culture You’ll Love

At Centric Consulting, we've cultivated a unique approach to business. Our business is built on three fundamental principles: Enjoy the people you work with, have fun, and do great work. These principles define our consulting model and have crafted one of the most vibrant cultures in the consulting industry – celebrating individuals, collaboration, and lifelong friendships.

We are looking for a senior project manager to lead a high-priority cybersecurity effort. This is not a single project. It is a collection of initiatives and tasks, some already underway, focused on improving network segmentation, visibility, and identity management while reducing vulnerabilities across the organization. We need someone who can step in, take ownership, and move the work forward. The right person matters more than a checklist of PM credentials.

In this role, you will:

Lead a portfolio of cybersecurity projects, tasks, and initiatives at different stages of progress

Manage highly technical workstreams across segmentation, visibility, identity management, and vulnerability reduction

Translate technical work into business impact for stakeholders and leadership

Build strong relationships with business and technical teams

Keep work moving when projects interrupt business operations or compete with other priorities

Track progress, surface risks early, and deliver results

Who You Are:

Seasoned project manager who works independently and leads from the front

Proven experience managing cybersecurity or infrastructure security projects

Strong technical skills and comfort directing deeply technical tasks

Clear understanding of how security work affects the broader business

Skilled relationship builder who can influence without authority

A track record of getting things done

Total Rewards:

We proudly offer competitive compensation, and a comprehensive and well-rounded benefits package for full-time employees that have been designed to nourish your well-being. Benefits offered include health, dental & vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, life insurance, self-managed PTO, paid holidays, parental leave, and other unique incentives that celebrate your accomplishments. We also offer access to many voluntary benefits such as Flexible Spending Accounts, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, Legal Services, as well as discounts on home, auto and pet insurance
