The candidate must demonstrate advanced knowledge of risk governance, control frameworks (e.g., NIST 800 series), regulatory requirements, and the ability to translate technical risks into enterprise-level risk management strategies. The role also involves driving the development and implementation of GRC tools, metrics, and reporting mechanisms to ensure continuous improvement of the cybersecurity risk posture.

• Monitor and evaluate emerging risks, internal operational trends, and external risk events for potential impact on the cloud security environment.
• Promote actions to address root causes of risks that may lead to operational losses or regulatory breaches.
• Ensure alignment with regulatory requirements (e.g., OCC, FRB, GDPR, Basel II) and manage responses to audits and examinations.

Cybersecurity Controls and Reporting:

• Represent EIS GRC in various working groups relevant to the functional area.
• Effectively communicate complex cybersecurity concepts to non-technical stakeholders and senior management across the Combined U.S. Operations.
• Prepare detailed reports on risk management activities and outcomes for senior management.
• Lead technical working groups and represent EIS GRC in initiatives requiring expert-level input on cloud security architecture and secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC).

Cyber Risk Quantification:

• Collaborate with complex initiatives designed to improve the overall enterprise cybersecurity program, ensuring projects are executed as planned and align with the cybersecurity governance model.
• Regularly review and update the Cyber Risk Institute implementation to reflect changes in the cyber threat landscape, ensuring that risk management practices remain current and effective.
• Lead discussions at all levels of the organization to incorporate and manage cloud security risk elements as part of the overall business strategy.
• Provide clear and consistent communications to lines of business related to cloud security topics, guiding them through assessments and translating technical/security questions into business terms.

Emerging Security Trends:
