Job Description
At General Motors, software is central to how we build vehicles, platforms, and digital experiences. We are looking for a people leader to lead Secure Development & Application Security, a key Cybersecurity function focused on embedding preventative and detective security controls into engineering workflows before software reaches production.
This function includes areas such as static application security testing, dynamic application security testing, API security, AI security, and runtime resilience. This role is ideal for a leader who can help scale practical, developer-friendly security across modern software environments while improving risk reduction, coverage, and engineering partnership.
As Manager, Secure Development & Application Security, you will lead a distinct Cybersecurity function responsible for improving how secure software is designed, built, tested, and operated across GM. You will translate strategy into clear direction for teams, set priorities, allocate resources, and own the operational performance of the function.
You will partner closely with engineering, platform, product, infrastructure, and other security teams to embed practical, developer-friendly controls that reduce risk without slowing delivery. You will help shape scalable security services and workflows that improve consistency across the software lifecycle. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who can build strong teams, influence across organizations, and lead change through measurable outcomes.
Master’s degree in a relevant field.
8+ years of experience in cybersecurity or software security, including enterprise-scale application security leadership.
Experience building or maturing secure development programs in large, highly distributed engineering environments.
Experience with developer-friendly security practices such as security automation, policy as code, self-service enablement, and risk-based remediation.
Familiarity with regulated environments, third-party software risk, and secure-by-design approaches across the software lifecycle.
Relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, CSSLP, GIAC, or cloud security certifications.
Experience in automotive, mobility, manufacturing, or other large-scale product and technology organizations.
