Role Overview

RTX Enterprise Cybersecurity Services (ECS) is seeking a Lead Enterprise Endpoint Security Portfolio Architect to define the strategy and architecture for securing endpoints across our global enterprise. This leader will also serve as the cybersecurity portfolio owner for endpoint security technologies, responsible for lifecycle management, vendor strategy, and ensuring our workforce devices remain secure and compliant.

In this high-impact role, you'll shape how we protect laptops, desktops, mobile devices, and specialized platforms, while ensuring endpoint security is a key enabler of our Zero Trust strategy and enterprise resilience.

The ideal candidate is a senior enterprise architect with deep technical expertise in endpoint security (EDR/XDR, UEM/MDM, OS hardening, and encryption) combined with the leadership skills to drive strategy, vendor rationalization, and global adoption. They are equally comfortable designing architectures, mentoring teams, and briefing executives, and they thrive at the intersection of technical depth, business impact, and regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities

• Serve as portfolio owner for endpoint security solutions, including lifecycle management, investment planning, vendor strategy, and cost optimization
• Lead design and adoption of modern endpoint protection platforms (NGAV, EDR, XDR) and ensure integration with SOC/SIEM/SOAR for advanced detection and response
• Establish endpoint hardening, encryption, and privilege management standards (Bit Locker, File Vault, App Locker/WDAC, Just-in-Time access)
• Drive UEM/MDM strategies (Intune, JAMF, Workspace ONE, etc.) to secure corporate, BYOD, and hybrid device environments
• Ensure endpoint posture and compliance signals integrate into Zero Trust and conditional access models
• Collaborate with IT, security, and operations teams to balance strong endpoint protection with workforce usability and productivity
• Lead architectural risk assessments for endpoint platforms and ensure alignment with regulatory frameworks (NIST, ITAR/EAR, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks)
• Mentor engineers and architects, raising enterprise capability in endpoint security best practices
• Develop and track KPIs/metrics that demonstrate endpoint risk reduction, adoption of security controls, and value realization from endpoint investments

• Typically requires a University Degree or equivalent experience and a minimum 12 years of experience, or an Advanced Degree and a minimum 10 years experience
• 10+ years experience in cybersecurity, and/or information technology, or related intelligence community, military, or civil service fields
• 10+ years experience with endpoint protection technologies (Crowd Strike, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Sentinel One, Palo Alto Cortex, etc.) and integration with SOC workflows
• Experience leading endpoint security architecture at enterprise scale, preferably in global or regulated industries
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Preferred Qualifications

• CISSP, CISM, or vendor-specific IAM certifications a plus
• Strong knowledge of UEM/MDM platforms (Intune, JAMF, Workspace ONE) and endpoint posture compliance models
• Hands-on experience with OS hardening, endpoint privilege management, encryption, and application control
• Familiarity with Zero Trust frameworks (NIST SP 800-207, CISA ZTMM) and integration of device trust signals into access policies
• Understanding of enterprise architecture methods (TOGAF, SABSA, DoDAF) and security frameworks (NIST CSF, CIS Controls, MITRE ATT&CK)
