• Evaluate policies, processes, controls, audits, and compliance reviews to identify weaknesses, noncompliance, and control gaps; coordinate division risk liaisons and process owners to define, track, and validate corrective and mitigation actions.
• Provide ERM guidance, training, templates, tools, expectations, and deadlines to stakeholders; support consistent risk identification, scoring, documentation, escalation, and reporting.
• Improve ERM procedures, dashboards, workflows, and automation; benchmark practices against COSO ERM, ISO 31000, and applicable Federal cybersecurity/risk requirements, and incorporate compliance risks and improvement recommendations into the RAR.

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrated technical/management leadership on major cybersecurity or risk assignments, including establishing goals/plans, directing multidisciplinary activities, and interfacing with senior Government/client leadership.
• Expert knowledge of enterprise/cybersecurity risk assessment, risk registers, likelihood/impact scoring, KRIs/KPIs, mitigation tracking, controls, compliance, and executive risk reporting.
• Experience evaluating security/risk requirements, policies, controls, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues and recommending solutions or corrective actions.
• Experience improving risk processes, tools, dashboards, workflows, templates, or automation and coordinating risk owners, liaisons, technical teams, and senior stakeholders.
