About Cosmos
Cosmos is a new Infinity Constellation venture poised to redefine managed IT services for mid-market companies. By fusing human expertise with advanced AI automation, we deliver faster, smarter, outcome-based IT support that frees customers to focus on their core business.

Infinity is seeking a Director, Security to design and oversee the security strategy for Cosmos. This leader will establish Cosmos foundational security program, implement scalable processes and controls, and ensure our companies consistently meet and exceed client security and compliance expectations.
