The Senior Director, Cyber Defense is responsible for Entrata’s information security defenses, cyber defense strategy, and incident response program. This role leads the capabilities required to detect, investigate, contain, and recover from security events across Entrata’s technology environment.

The Senior Director partners with leaders across Security, Technology, Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, Compliance, Legal, and Communications to strengthen Entrata’s security posture and operational resilience. This role establishes the processes, technology, communication channels, and cross-functional discipline necessary to respond effectively to cyber threats while ensuring appropriate coverage across regions and time zones.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute Entrata’s cyber defense strategy and multi-year operational roadmap aligned with enterprise risk. Serve as Incident Commander for significant security incidents—coordinating technical response, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and business decisions.

• Lead detection, alerting, and investigation across the technology stack. Create and maintain incident response playbooks, runbooks, severity levels, decision rights, regional time-zone handoffs, and escalation paths.

• Serve as the frontline executive interface for enterprise clients during active incidents, delivering transparent technical briefings, root-cause analyses (RCAs), and post-incident remediation updates. Partner with Legal, Privacy, Communications, and Customer Success on crisis messaging.

• Establish and present strategic cyber metrics, threat assessments, and operational maturity benchmarks to executive leadership, audit committees, and board stakeholders.

• Drive continuous maturity across threat detection and response to align with enterprise compliance frameworks, regulatory standards, and third-party audit requirements while making timely, risk-based decisions in high-stress environments.

• Proactively leverage approved GenAI tools to automate routine tasks while serving as the "Human-in-the-Loop" to audit outputs, maintain prompt competency, and enforce strict data governance and PII protection protocols.
