About The Position

As a key component of the firm's Technology organisation, the Cyber Data Risk and Resiliency (CDRR) department's mandate is to enable the Firm to manage technology risk through modern, cloud-aligned and AI-informed security practices. CDRR executes first line of defence technology risk management capabilities and implements proactive, comprehensive, and consistent risk management across on-premises and Azure-hosted services. CDRR protects the Firm's information, endpoints, and infrastructure from cyber and insider threats by delivering operational capabilities and a suite of advanced detection, monitoring, analytics, and automation. The department is driving the implementation and operationalization of AI-assisted investigation and response capabilities (including Microsoft Security Copilot)-covering onboarding, integration with the Microsoft security stack, governance/controls, and measurable improvements to triage speed and response quality. CDRR provides expert advice on secure design, development, and control effectiveness across enterprise endpoints and the Azure platform. The Endpoint Security Team mandate is to implement the Firm's Cybersecurity Strategy by architecting, engineering, deploying, and operating technical security controls and capabilities for the Enterprise across on-premises and the Azure platform. The team designs, develops, and operates solutions that protect desktops, laptops, servers, and cloud resources from malicious internal and external threats by implementing preventative and hardening controls, enabling real-time endpoint detection and response, and leading the implementation of AI-enabled security operations capabilities (including Microsoft Security Copilot)-from solution design and integration through governance, rollout, and ongoing optimization.
