Establish and track metrics that demonstrate continuous improvement in GRC capabilities. Drive the adoption of AI tools and automation across workflows, work delivery, work organization, and reporting to increase team efficiency and effectiveness. Champion mentorship, career growth, and an inclusive culture across a geographically distributed team. GRC Responsibilities Develop, implement, and maintain a GRC framework aligned to relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards (e.g., NIST CSF, NIST 800-53/800-171, CIS Controls, CMMC, SOX IT controls). Own centralized IT policy and process governance, including oversight of the exceptions management process. Oversee risk assessment activities across the organization to identify, assess, prioritize, and mitigate risk. Drive and mature the vendor and third-party cyber risk management process. Engage with internal audit and external auditors to support IT audits and cybersecurity assessments. Develop and maintain a comprehensive security awareness program for Associates.
