Cyber Security Project Manager

BCforward is seeking a dedicated Project Manager to work Hybrid in Indianapolis.

Cyber Security Project Manager

Location : Indianapolis- Hybrid

The PM will drive three parallel workstreams—Existing Sites, In-Flight Sites, and Future Sites—ensuring coordinated execution, clear ownership, and timely escalation of risks and dependencies.

Core Responsibilities

• Build, manage, and continuously maintain the master transition schedule across all three workstreams.
• Serve as the day-to-day project point of contact with Corelight, coordinating delivery, deployment activities, timelines, and dependencies.
• Coordinate across Cyber, MQ Technology, and EC teams to align schedules, resources, technical dependencies, and site readiness.
• Track milestones, actions, risks, issues, and dependencies across the program.
• Own program status reporting, providing clear updates to leadership on progress, risks, decisions, and required escalations.
• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions and ensure timely follow-up on commitments.
• Identify schedule or execution risks early and drive resolution or escalation.
• Maintain clear visibility into site-level readiness and transition progress.

Required Background

• Strong project management fundamentals, including:
• Multi-workstream scheduling and planning
• Cross-functional stakeholder coordination
• Vendor management
• Risk and issue management
• Executive-level status reporting
• Demonstrated experience managing technical transitions, integrations, or migrations involving multiple stakeholder groups and a fixed timeline.
• Relevant experience may include:
• M&A or divestiture integration PM
• Infrastructure or technology transitions
• Platform migrations
• Enterprise technology implementations
• Vendor-led technical deployments

Strongly Preferred — Not Required

• Experience with manufacturing OT/ICS or IoT security, including network sensors, plant-floor deployments, or IT/OT boundary considerations.
• Familiarity with cyber network monitoring and detection platforms, such as Corelight, Nozomi, or similar technologies.
• Experience coordinating technology deployments across multiple physical manufacturing or industrial sites.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a strong execution-oriented PM who can manage a complex, time-bound technology transition without requiring deep cybersecurity expertise. They should be comfortable coordinating technical teams, vendors, and business stakeholders; maintaining a detailed integrated schedule; surfacing risks early; and translating project-level detail into concise leadership updates.

OT/cyber domain expertise is a plus, but strong PM execution, coordination, and vendor-management skills are the primary requirements.
