About The Position

The Principal Technology Risk Engagement within AT&T’s Technology Development, Operations & Resilience organization drives complex technology risk remediation efforts from validated risk identification through measurable risk reduction. The role coordinates across technology, security, operations, resilience, governance, and funding stakeholders to ensure commitments are clear, actions are tracked, evidence is validated, and risk outcomes are achieved.
