CFGI is seeking a Cybersecurity Consulting Manager with deep private equity and venture capital industry experience to lead and deliver high-impact advisory engagements across the investment lifecycle, from pre-deal cybersecurity due diligence and risk assessment through post-close integration, portfolio company maturity uplift, and exit readiness. This role blends hands-on delivery, executive communication, and practice leadership. You will work directly with PE/VC deal teams, operating partners, portfolio company CISOs, CIOs, CFOs, and Board/Audit Committee members to design pragmatic programs, build scalable operating models, and deliver security outcomes tied to value creation and investment thesis.
The ideal candidate brings direct private equity or venture capital industry experience, either from within a PE/VC firm, a portfolio company, or a consulting practice with a dedicated PE/VC client base, combined with deep cybersecurity advisory expertise, strong commercial instincts, and a proven ability to deliver in fast-paced, deal-driven environments.

• Conduct and manage cybersecurity due diligence assessments for buy-side and sell-side transactions: identify material risks, quantify cyber exposure, and deliver findings in deal-team-ready formats (red/yellow/green risk summaries, indemnification inputs, rep & warranty considerations).
• Design and operationalize cybersecurity governance models (policies, standards, risk appetite, committees, reporting KPIs/KRIs) scaled appropriately to portfolio company size and PE ownership model.
• Build and mature enterprise risk programs: risk assessments, risk registers, control libr
