Position Summary
The Security Risk and Compliance Associate is a highly respected, influential and in-demand role within the business. The position is responsible supporting the security direction of the business and elevating the company’s security posture. The associate is expected to support the security strategy of the business within new and existing information system capabilities. Consequently, the position requires both an understanding of legacy systems, as well as new technologies and requirements. The associate is also responsible for the planning and design of policies and maintenance.
The Security Risk and Compliance Associate position reports to the VP, IT Risk & Compliance and assists in the building, support and maintenance of the GRC program. The associate will engage in many facets of the information security and GRC programs while providing guidance and functioning as an experienced resource to control owners and business partners. The associate will be given the ability to work with various teams to identify risks, deficiencies, create controls and report progress. The associate should be someone who works well with others, leads, motivates others and has a passion for GRC.
The ideal candidate is technical and possesses at least one year of experience in security, compliance or risk management. The role oversees the business’ security requirements and obligations mandated by standards and regulations such as the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). In tandem with security leadership, the associate consistently assesses and validates the assurance of the security program. As a primary point of contact for internal and external auditors, the associate monitors progress and enforces resolution of outstanding issues that may lead to non-compliance or security threats to the business. As a key member of the security team, the associate must focus on strong risk management and corporate resiliency, and not be driven solely by compliance.
