- Translate technical findings, architectural concerns, and control gaps into clear business
risk scenarios that support prioritization and decision-making
- Support and help mature quantitative cyber risk analysis approaches such as FAIR to
improve how risk is measured and communicated
- Prepare materials and analysis to support the Cyber Risk Committee and executive risk
reporting
- Partner with Security Architecture to assess risk in system designs, cloud architecture,

- Collaborate with Security Engineering, Product Security, Legal, IT, and business teams
to evaluate new initiatives, technology changes, artificial intelligence use cases, and
third-party integrations through a risk lens
- Conduct risk assessments for emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and
machine learning systems, evaluating data usage, model behavior, external
dependencies, and security implications
- Develop dashboards and reporting that provide leadership with visibility into key
cybersecurity risks and trends.
- Contribute to the continued development of cyber risk management processes
QUALIFICATIONS:
- 6+ years of experience in cybersecurity or enterprise risk management, information
security, or a related field
- Demonstrated experience conducting structured cybersecurity or IT risk assessment
- Experience maintaining risk registers and tracking risk mitigation or treatment activities
- Deep understanding of security frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS,
and familiarity with regulatory environments such as GDPR, HIPAA or other privacy and
data protection requirements
- Ability to translate technical findings into clear business risk for non-technical
stakeholders
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with experience presenting findings to
cross-functional teams
- Experience assessing risks related to artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, or
emerging technologies, including familiarity with emerging AI governance frameworks
such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, or similar standards
- Professional certifications such as CRISC, CISSP, CISA, or CGRC are a plus
