You will also work to maintain policies, standards, and guidelines related to information security within our organization, collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement security controls and technologies such as encryption, authentication, and authorization solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain comprehensive GRC strategies, policies, and frameworks to support enterprise governance, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance goals.
  • Lead risk assessments, control evaluations, and compliance gap analyses across business units and third-party vendors.
  • Monitor and interpret changes to applicable laws, regulations, and standards (e.g., SOX, GDPR, DORA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 31000, COSO, NIST).
  • Design and implement enterprise risk management (ERM) programs, including risk identification, scoring, tracking, and mitigation plans.
  • Collaborate with internal audit, legal, and compliance teams to manage internal and external audits and ensure readiness.
  • Establish and track key risk indicators (KRIs), control metrics, and risk treatment action plans.
  • Provide subject matter expertise on governance structures and compliance reporting.
  • Deliver executive-level presentations and dashboards to communicate risk posture, audit findings, and compliance trends.
  • Build and maintain GRC tooling and platforms (e.g., Archer, ServiceNow GRC, MetricStream) to support automation and reporting.
