Acting as an information security ambassador to the business, you'll determine security requirements by evaluating business initiatives and ensuring alignment with the organization's global information security standards.

- Perform risk assessments of information systems and infrastructure, and develop and communicate mitigation recommendations
- Conduct security risk assessments of vendors and service providers, including review of SOC 2 reports and other security documentation, and track remediation of identified third-party risks
- Support internal and external audits, and maintain security policies, standards, procedures, and training materials
- Develop and maintain dashboards to track and report on key risk and compliance metrics for management
- Support business continuity planning, disaster recovery initiatives, phishing simulations, and annual security awareness campaigns
- Collaborate with business units, application teams, and service partners to define and guide security controls that manage risk
What You Bring

- Working understanding of network security (firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, zero trust), cloud security fundamentals (Azure, AWS), authentication methods (MFA, SSO), DLP, SDLC, and API security
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into business terms
- Excellent written and verbal communication, and comfort managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
