Candidatul Ideal
Position Summary:
Around the world, digital security is increasingly seen as a foundational component of national security, as nearly all facets of global financial, political, and social systems are rooted in deeply interconnected information & communications technology (ICT). A recent World Economic Forum policy note has identified data fraud/theft and large-scale cyberattacks as two of the top five most concerning international security threats, as governments, international organizations, corporations, and individuals race to strengthen their infrastructure, reduce network vulnerabilities, and safeguard broader operational systems from malicious actors.

In support of this strategy and building on our 25 years as a leader in global threat reduction, CRDF Global is implementing large-scale Cybersecurity programs in crucial geostrategic regions across Europe & Eurasia (including Ukraine, Moldova, and the Western Balkans) and Southeast Asia. CRDF Global is seeking a Technical Programme Advisor, Cybersecurity to serve as a thought leader and solution design specialist to support the organization in delivering effective, adaptive, and innovative Cybersecurity and host country capacity building programming in European and around the world. This position will require extensive travel and/or deployment to Chisinau, Moldova.
The ability to communicate effectively and to interact with subject matter experts in the government, academic, non-profit, and private sectors is essential. The ideal candidate will have spent 8-10 years in progressively more responsible technical positions, and will have transitioned into project and program management, design, and solutioning.
