• Ensure alignment with global security standards and frameworks (e.g. NIST, ISO 27001, CIS).
• Partner with compliance, audit, and internal stakeholders to address regulatory requirements and support evidence gathering for audits.
• Leverage SIEM and monitoring tools to inform risk posture and ensure control effectiveness.
• Produce high-quality documentation, dashboards, and risk reports for senior stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Security Consultant, Risk Analyst, or GRC Specialist in enterprise environments—ideally within financial services.
• Strong working knowledge of security frameworks and standards: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS, etc.
• Experience with security risk assessments, controls design, and compliance monitoring.
