This role is designed for a stafflevel security practitioner with deep Cyber Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) expertise who shapes the vision, strategy, and outcomes of GEICOs cyber governance automation capabilities. The Staff Security Engineer owns the endtoend automated cyber governance program, including defining and delivering the roadmap for continuous control monitoring and validation, scalable evidence collection, and realtime audit readiness across GEICOs hybrid cloud and onprem environments.

This position partners closely with engineering and platform teams to translate complex regulatory, policy, and control requirements into prioritized,well-definedautomation capabilities, ensuring solutions are scalable, sustainable, and aligned to enterprise risk priorities. Success in this role means turning governance requirements into durable,outcome drivenproducts thatdemonstratecontrol effectiveness and reduce audit friction.

Cyber Governance Product & Program Ownership

• Contribute to the vision, strategy, and roadmap for GEICOs cyber governance automation capabilities, driving delivery through prioritized execution and continuous improvement.

• Define how policies, standards, regulatory frameworks, and technical controls are operationalized and continuously validated through automated evidence collection.

• Own governance automation platforms endtoend as the system of record for control health, evidence, and audit readiness across cloud and onprem environments.

• Drive near100% automation coverage, including designing scalable onprem automation strategies and governing compensating controls where full automation is not feasible, while maintaining audit defensibility.

• Define and enforce governance standards for automation coverage targets, evidence SLAs, control performance metrics, and telemetry requirements.

• Own the governance automation roadmap, prioritizing work based on risk reduction, regulatory requirements, and operational efficiency.

• Establish and operationalize a standardized, riskbased remediation lifecycle, including severity classification, timelines, escalation paths, closure criteria, and enforced SLAs.

• Maintain ownership of remediation scheduling frameworks and forwardlooking visibility into upcoming deadlines.

• Ensure all noncompliance is consistently tracked, prioritized, and driven to closure through scalable workflows.

• Partner with compliance, risk, audit, and engineering leaders to ensure governance capabilities align with enterprise risk priorities and regulatory obligations (e.g., NYDFS, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, SOC, ISO).

• Act as the single point of accountability for governance automation outcomes, including executivelevel risk, remediation, and auditreadiness reporting with forecasting.

Technical Strategy & Product Stewardship

• Own theproduct strategyanddirectionfor GEICOs Automated Cyber Governance capabilities, ensuring clearsystemofrecorddefinitions, scalability expectations, and alignment tolongtermenterprise needs.

• Partner with engineering and platform teams todefine and prioritize governance automation capabilities, providing product requirements, architectural guardrails, and acceptance criteria rather than performing direct system development.

• Define andmaintainintegration principles, system boundaries, and data standardsto ensure reliable, secure, and consistent evidence flows across cloud platforms, security tools, and internal systems.

• Evaluate and guide the responsible use of AI capabilities within governance platforms(e.g., evidence classification, control mapping suggestions, risk summarization), ensuring explainability, auditability, and alignment with regulatory expectations.

• Serve as theprimary point of accountability for governance automation outcomes, working with engineering leaders to resolve complex platform challenges and ensuresolutionsremainreliable, sustainable, and fit for purpose.

• Ownership of100% source system adoptionfeeding governance evidence (e.g., cloud, IAM, logging, asset inventory)

• Accountability foridentifyingand closing: Missing telemetry, Integration gaps, Inconsistent or unreliable data sources, Enforcement of standardized telemetry and data requirements across teams

• Ownership of automated control quality assurance,includingFalse positive / false negative reduction, Control tuning, Drift detection

• Ensuring all automated evidenceisAuditdefensible, Traceable, Aligned to regulatory intent

• Ownership ofcontrol change managementfor new and modified controls

• Translating regulatory, policy, and control changes into:Engineering requirements

• Implementation guidance, Evidence expectations

• Proactive stakeholder communication:What is changing,Whyit matters, Compliance deadlines, Tracking and escalatingcontrol adoption readiness risks

Automation & Continuous Control Monitoring

• Define how security policies, standards, and control requirements aretranslated into automated, continuouslymonitoredcontrol capabilities, including clear requirements, success criteria, andevidenceexpectations.

• Establish standards and expectations forautomated detection of controlnonadherence, and partner with engineering and remediation teams to ensureappropriate remediationguidance, workflows, or integrations are in place.

• Ensure evidence outputs areauditready, traceable, repeatable, and aligned to regulatory intent, materially reducing reliance onpointintime, manual evidence collection.

• Apply AIassisted techniques to improve control validation and evidence quality, such as anomaly detection, evidence completeness checks, control drift identification, and signal prioritization across large control populations.

• Leverage AIenabled insights to reduce noise and surface material control failures, ensuring governance automation focuses on true risk rather than generating lowvalue alerts.

CrossFunctionalLeadership & Enablement

• Serve as atrusted partner and advisorto engineering, infrastructure, cloud, and security teams by providing clarity on governance requirements, regulatory intent, and how they are operationalized through scalable solutions.

• Influence partner teams to adopt aproductandautomation firstapproachto governance, compliance, and policy adherence, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across the enterprise.

• Communicate complex technical and regulatory concepts clearly to a broad range of stakeholders, including engineers, risk and audit partners, and executive leadership.

• Contribute to raising the organizationsgovernance, automation, and product maturitythrough guidance, enablement, andcrossfunctionalcollaboration.

Program Maturity & Continuous Improvement

• Continuously assess governance automation capabilities, processes, and supporting tools toidentifyopportunities toscale adoption, increase automation coverage, and improve effectiveness.

• Own the definition and evolution ofcyber governance metrics and reporting, including dashboards that provide clear visibility into control health, automation coverage, audit readiness, and risk posture for executive and stakeholder audiences.

• Track product and program outcomes,identifygaps against regulatory and riskobjectives, andprioritize improvement initiativesthat advance maturityquarter over quarter.
