The AVP - BISO is a change agent and thought leader. They must build trust through information and transparency with senior executives, be able to present to the highest levels of leadership, with the appropriate blend of technical and business detail.

The Technical Dimension

This role requires a strong technical background and the ability to understand emerging technologies, their purpose, security requirements, and benefits to a large financial firm.

• Prepare and deliver executive-ready presentations and briefings on protection-needs outcomes, threat models, and control results to mid- and senior-level leadership.
• Report significant changes in information security risk to the appropriate level of management on both a periodic and an event-driven basis.
