Director, Secure Design Review (Cybersecurity)

The Secure Design Review (SDR) team is a new team that is being built with Leadership support as part of the Application & Infrastructure Security Product Area of Enterprise Cybersecurity (ECS). We work closely with ECS teams including Penetration Testing and Red Team, Fidelity Architecture Engineering (FAE) teams, developers, and architects across Fidelity.

The mission of the Secure Design Review (SDR) team is to protect Fidelity's assets and our customers’ livelihoods from the threat of exploitation by malicious adversaries.

Fidelity’s hybrid working model blends the best of both onsite and offsite work experiences. Working onsite is important for our business strategy and our culture. We also value the benefits that working offsite offers associates. Most hybrid roles require associates to work onsite every other week (all business days, M-F) in a Fidelity office.
