Role Description

At Ivy Rehab, we're "All About the People"! As the Director of Cybersecurity, you are the primary architect and lead of our digital defenses. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role for a technical expert who thrives on getting into the security architecture while simultaneously partnering across IT and non-IT functions. This leadership position is responsible for the overall security posture of Ivy Rehab, overseeing the protection of our technical ecosystem across 700+ outpatient clinics and supporting 7,500+ employees in 18 states and growing. You will ensure that as we scale, our security governance, threat management, and compliance frameworks evolve to meet the needs of a multi-site healthcare environment.

Join Ivy Rehab’s dedicated team where you’re not just an employee, but a valued teammate! Together, we provide world-class care in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and applied behavior analysis (ABA) services. Our culture promotes authenticity, inclusion, growth, community, and a passion for exceptional care for every patient.

Responsibilities

• Active Security Architecture & Implementation: Directly design and work with the team to deploy security tools across our network, including IAM, endpoint protection, and encryption protocols.
• Incident Response & Threat Management: Act and execute during security events. Oversee the end-to-end security operations, including threat detection, vulnerability management, and leading the response to any potential security breaches.
• M&A Due Diligence: Lead technical due diligence for all acquired clinics, identifying security risks and standardizing their systems to meet the Ivy Rehab security ecosystem.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner directly with teams to integrate security into their workflows without creating bottlenecks. You will work side-by-side with Legal, Compliance, and Procurement on due diligence and contract reviews.
• Project Governance: Manage a portfolio of security initiatives (e.g., IAM rollouts, EMR security hardening, network encryption), ensuring they are delivered on time and within budget.
• Vendor & Partner Management: Manage relationships with strategic security vendors (SOC, MSSP, Cyber Insurance) to ensure all infrastructure and tools are delivering maximum protection.
• Leadership through Action: Lead and mentor a small, agile team of IT professionals by example. You will "pair-program" or "pair-configure" to foster a culture of high performance and technical excellence.

• Ability to align security implementations with overall business growth goals.
