Senior Manager, Strategy & Engagement- Risk & Resilience (RapidScale) (Remote)

About the role

At RapidScale, exceptional technology is powered by exceptional people. We deliver secure, reliable managed and advisory services across private, public, and hybrid clouds, helping organizations innovate, adapt, and grow. As an Elite Broadcom VMware VCSP Partner and top partner with AWS, Azure, and Google, our solutions focus on business outcomes with embedded cyber resiliency and AI to protect today and enable tomorrow backed by the strength of the Cox family of companies. RapidScale is building a Risk & Resilience advisory practice designed to help enterprise clients navigate increasingly complex challenges across business resilience, governance, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, artificial intelligence, compliance, exposure management, and operational readiness. We are seeking a Senior Manager, Strategy & Engagement – Risk & Resilience to provide senior advisory, commercial, and delivery leadership across the practice. This role will help shape major enterprise pursuits, oversee a portfolio of client engagements, establish strong commercial and delivery governance, and ensure RapidScale brings an integrated Risk & Resilience perspective to complex client challenges. The Senior Manager will operate across the full lifecycle of the practice—from opportunity development and pursuit strategy through solution shaping, pricing and scope governance, delivery oversight, and executive client engagement. This is not a traditional program management role or a purely technical cybersecurity position. The ideal candidate is a senior consulting-trained Risk & Resilience practitioner who can move comfortably between executive advisory conversations, complex pursuit leadership, commercial decision-making, and delivery oversight. The role requires the ability to connect enterprise risk, resilience, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, governance, and compliance into a cohesive business-facing advisory strategy while bringing the consulting discipline and commercial judgment necessary to help scale a growing practice.
