Job Description

Prudential is looking for a senior individual contributor to serve as a Lead, Network Security Analyst within the ISO Infrastructure Security organization. In this onsite role in Newark, NJ, you will focus on evaluating enterprise network security capabilities, uncovering risk and technical debt, and shaping actionable strategies to advance Zero Trust and related modernization initiatives.

Working in the Network Security Strategy & Analysis team, you will analyze current-state architectures and controls across campus, data center, cloud, and remote-access environments, then translate findings into target-state direction, roadmaps, and prioritized risk-reduction plans.

Core Responsibilities

Lead complex current-state analysis of network security architecture, controls, processes, and technical debt across campus, data center, cloud, and remote-access environments.
Produce strategic recommendations, target-state architectures, transition roadmaps, and prioritized plans to reduce risk across Zero Trust networking, segmentation, NAC, ZTNA, firewalls, proxy, and related capabilities.
Assess architecture, configuration, telemetry, asset, vulnerability, and control data to identify material risks, systemic gaps, and opportunities to harden the environment.
Functionally lead workstreams and provide technical guidance to less-experienced team members without direct people-management responsibility.
Partner with operational and engineering teams to validate findings, define remediation approaches, set milestones, and drive agreed actions to completion.
Participate in security architecture and design reviews, documenting requirements, assumptions, risks, compensating controls, and recommended decisions.
Contribute reusable reference architectures, security patterns, engineering requirements, decision frameworks, and assessment methods aligned to enterprise standards.
Communicate complex network security risks and tradeoffs to technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leaders using concise, evidence-based recommendations.
Define outcome-oriented metrics and contribute to executive reporting that shows risk reduction, control maturity, roadmap progress, and technical-debt retirement.
Evaluate emerging technologies and industry practices and recommend where they should influence the network security strategy.
Serve as the network security subject matter expert within the ISO Infrastructure Security team.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or Cybersecurity (or equivalent experience).
Advanced experience in network security engineering, architecture, advisory, or strategy within a large and complex enterprise environment.
Ability to independently structure ambiguous problems, develop analysis plans, evaluate alternatives, and deliver clear recommendations with minimal guidance.
Ability to functionally lead complex work, mentor others, and leverage diverse ideas, experiences, and perspectives.
Strong business insight to balance security risk, operational feasibility, customer impact, cost, and delivery constraints.
Experience with agile delivery or program-management methods and cross-functional execution.
Excellent problem solving, written communication, executive presentation, facilitation, and collaboration skills.
