Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with infrastructure, cloud, QA, and security teams to embed compliance into system design, change management, and operational workflows. Security Awareness & Training: Deliver targeted training and guidance to business and technical stakeholders on compliance obligations and secure practices. Vulnerability & Control Monitoring: Oversee vulnerability remediation and ITGC control performance, including access reviews, logging, and backup validation. Who You Are: Proven ability to work independently and take ownership of compliance and governance functions. Strong understanding of cybersecurity risk management, control frameworks, and compensating control strategies. Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity compliance, including PCI DSS and ITGC. Proficiency with GRC platforms (e.g., ServiceNow), audit documentation, and evidence management. Familiarity with cloud security (e.g., Azure) and enterprise IT environments. Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and educate across technical and non-technical teams. What Will Make You Stand Out: Certifications such as CISA, CISM, CISSP, CRISC, or PCI ISA. Experience with frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. Demonstrated success in leading audit engagements and driving remediation efforts.
