Job Description

What you’ll own
  • Drive cybersecurity issues toward timely resolution by influencing remediation owners, removing barriers and escalating emerging risks to strengthen accountability and reduce residual risk across the enterprise.
  • Shape informed cyber risk decisions by evaluating control gaps, risk ratings, compensating controls and risk acceptance requests against the evolving threat landscape and business impact.
  • Strengthen remediation outcomes by challenging and improving remediation plans to ensure they are technically sound, appropriately scoped and capable of delivering sustainable risk reduction within approved timelines.
  • Turn complex cyber risk into actionable insight by identifying systemic control gaps, emerging themes and remediation trends that give senior leaders and governance teams clearer visibility into the organization’s risk posture.
  • Advance the Cyber Risk Management function by applying intelligent workflows, agentic artificial intelligence (AI), analytics and automation to accelerate risk insights, reduce manual effort and improve the consistency and effectiveness of issue management.
What you’ll bring

  • Hands-on experience with governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platforms, such as Archer, and the analytical judgment to develop clear, defensible recommendations in complex environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate technical cyber risk into clear business impact and influence stakeholders across technology, business, enterprise risk, compliance and audit teams without relying on direct reporting authority.
It’s a bonus if you have
  • One or more relevant cybersecurity or risk certifications, such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC), or Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).
  • Experience working within the financial services or payments industry, with an understanding of the security, regulatory and operational considerations of highly regulated environments.
