Asia Cybersecurity Transformation and Capability Lead

The Asia Cybersecurity Transformation and Capability Lead role is based in the Asia Cyber Portfolio Delivery team and is a critical enabler for the entire Asia CISO function.

The role leads the transformation needed to translate the Global Cybersecurity Strategy, enterprise services, and Asia priorities into practical changes that business and technology teams can adopt and sustain.

Cybersecurity Transformation and Adoption

• Translate the Global Cybersecurity Strategy and Asia priorities into coordinated transformation plans that link risk, controls, services, market readiness, and sustained adoption.
• Assess security, business, technology, and people impacts; identify dependencies and adoption risks; and apply cybersecurity judgement to sequence delivery and define proportionate mitigations.
• Partner across Asia CISO capabilities, Global Cybersecurity teams, markets, portfolio leads, and service owners to embed change, adoption, and benefits realization into planning and delivery.
• Apply Manulife's Change Enablement Framework, coach delivery teams, and use data, feedback, and reinforcement to sustain adoption.

Stakeholder Engagement and Communications

• Build trust through early engagement and structured listening, surfacing barriers, and explaining how stakeholder input shaped decisions or why it could not be adopted.
• Translate complex risks, controls, and service requirements into clear, audience- and market-specific communications without weakening security intent.
• Promote clear engagement pathways and provide decision-focused reporting on progress, adoption, stakeholder sentiment, and required actions.

Security Behavior and Culture

• Lead security behavior and culture initiatives that build security understanding, confidence, and shared accountability across Asia business and technology teams.
• Use role-relevant learning, behavioral insights, practical scenarios, and timely reinforcement to embed secure behaviors into everyday decisions, onboarding, and delivery practices.
• Use data and feedback to identify behavioral risks and friction points, measure outcomes, and improve interventions.

Process Reengineering and Prioritization

• Map and reengineer cybersecurity processes and stakeholder journeys to remove duplication, delay, and unclear accountability, while preserving security outcomes and improving efficiency and experience.
• Clarify service entry points, responsibilities, hand-offs, decision rights, information needs, and expected outcomes.
• Establish transparent intake, triage, and prioritization using risk, regulatory urgency, dependencies, business value, stakeholder impact, effort, and capacity.
• Maintain visibility of demand, commitments, bottlenecks, and deferred needs, using portfolio, adoption, and process data to drive continuous improvement.
