About The Role

Are you passionate about strengthening technology controls and influencing risk outcomes at enterprise scale?

This position offers an exciting opportunity to lead impactful testing initiatives, collaborate with senior stakeholders across various departments, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our risk mitigation strategies.

The core responsibilities include leading and executing technology risk and controls testing activities aligned with audit, regulatory, and certification requirements. You will assess control design and operational effectiveness across diverse technology environments—including cloud, distributed, and vendor-hosted systems—and partner with technology, risk, and audit teams to identify, analyze, and escalate control gaps and emerging risks. Your advanced risk judgment and analytical thinking will be vital in solving complex control and risk challenges, while your contributions to testing methodologies, automation, and documentation quality will help elevate our risk management processes. Additionally, you will provide guidance and mentorship to less experienced analysts, supporting broader testing workstreams and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

• Working knowledge of industry frameworks such as NIST, COBIT, AICPA Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001, HITRUST, or similar standards.
• Familiarity with cloud security models (AWS, Azure, SaaS, PaaS) and GRC platforms such as Archer (preferred).
• Professional certifications like CISA, CISSP, CRISC, or CISM are advantageous but not mandatory.
