Skills & Qualifications

• Strong understanding of IT policy and controls in the financial services industry like SOX, NIST, PCI, etc. - this person will be leading technology focused GRC programs across the enterprise so it is essential they understand those controls, and the specific impact to technology initiatives.
• Proven ability to work both across multiple stakeholders and teams, and autonomously based on assignment - This role is a critical bridge between IT, InfoSec, and line of business leadership, so needs to be able to communicate across many different personalities, but will also be responsible for taking high level vision or direction and stand up new programs and initiatives.
• Experience working in an end-to-end GRC program - Because this role will be leading so much of the IT GRC program maintenance and development candidates need to have an understanding of the fully lifecycle rather than being specialized in one specific area. Example, need someone who understand compliance, or policy management, but can't be siloed in that one specific area.
• Experience across policy management and IT
• Exposure to Banking or Financial Services industry and controls
