• Strong knowledge of risk and control frameworks and regulations: NIST CSF/800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SOX/ITGC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, CIS, and data protection/privacy (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA).

• Design, implement, and mature an enterprise Information Security Risk Management (ISRM) program aligned to business strategy and regulatory requirements.
• Define and operationalize risk taxonomy, risk appetite/thresholds, and risk assessment methodologies (inherent/residual, likelihood/impact, qualitative/quantitative where appropriate).
• Stand up end-to-end risk workflows: identification → assessment → treatment planning → control implementation → monitoring → metrics → reporting.
• Integrate risk management with strategic planning, project/architecture reviews, third-party risk, privacy, resilience/BCP/DR, and audit.
• Establish and maintain the Information Security Policy & Standards framework; ensure clear control ownership and maintenance cadence.
• Run the issue/exception/waiver process: risk acceptance, remediation tracking, and expiration governance.

• Implement integrations with core systems (e.g., IAM, CMDB, ticketing, CI/CD, cloud security tools, vulnerability management, procurement, ERP) to drive control automation and near-real-time monitoring.
• Define and publish dashboards and KPIs/KRIs for executive reporting; enable self-service analytics and board-level reporting packages.
• Establish a risk-based control testing and continuous control monitoring (CCM) program; leverage automation for evidence capture and evaluation.
• Oversee security exceptions, findings, and remediation programs with clear SLAs and escalation paths.
• Coordinate scenario analysis and tabletop exercises for key risks (e.g., ransomware, data exfiltration, third-party outage).
• Partner with Security Engineering and Operations to connect risk insights to detection, vulnerability, and incident response priorities.
• Mature third-party risk management (TPRM) with tiering, due diligence, contract clauses, continuous monitoring, and exit strategies.
• Embed risk reviews in SDLC and project governance (architecture boards, change management, M&A diligence/integration).

Benefits

• competitive total rewards package that could include other components such as: incentive, equity and benefits.
• all state paid leave requirements.
• a generous suite of benefits.
