## 2. Roles in This Family

| Role | Document | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| **Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)** | [`CERG-GOV-JD-EXEC-001`](CERG-GOV-JD-EXEC-001_Chief_Information_Security_Officer.md) | Accountable for the cybersecurity program: strategy, board reporting, risk acceptance, budget, and organizational accountability. |

## 3. Family-Level Career Path

Progression within the Executive Leadership family follows the standard four-tier structure:

- **L1 (Associate)** → **L2 (Practitioner)** → **L3 (Senior)** → **L4 (Principal)**

See [JF-001 §8](../CERG-GOV-JF-001_Job_Families_Overview.md) for the standard progression gates (L1→L2, L2→L3, L3→L4). See [JF-001 §9](../CERG-GOV-JF-001_Job_Families_Overview.md) for family-specific level definitions.

Cross-family movement is encouraged per the [Family-to-Family Career Lattice](../CERG-GOV-JF-001_Job_Families_Overview.md#4-family-to-family-career-lattice). The Left-Right Knowledge Model ([FRM-001 §9.2](../../governance/CERG-GOV-FRM-001_CERG_Framework.md)) and cross-training expectations ([OM-001 §10.4](../../governance/CERG-GOV-OM-001_CERG_Operating_Model.md)) operationalize this movement.

## 4. Shared Certifications

Certifications relevant to the Executive Leadership family are detailed in [TRN-001](../../governance/CERG-GOV-TRN-001_Training_Development_and_Certification_Framework.md). Each role's certification matrix specifies Required, Recommended, and Aspirational certifications at each grade level.
