You will own GRC components of the portfolio, including control framework management, regulatory assessments (HIPAA, NIST, PCI), external

Responsibilities

• Lead security architecture reviews across internally developed applications, AI systems and agents, APIs, and cloud environments, assessing design, data flows, trust boundaries, and control coverage both before and after deployment.
• Perform and oversee threat modeling and secure design reviews for custom-built and AI-enabled applications throughout the development lifecycle, identifying design-level weaknesses and driving fixes into engineering work.
• Define the technical assessment approach for AI and machine learning systems, covering model and data governance, prompt and agent security, guardrails, output validation, and misuse scenarios.
• Evaluate and validate security controls at the application, integration, and infrastructure layers, including authentication, authorization, encryption, logging, segmentation, and secrets management.
• Own the Security Risk Assessment portfolio end to end, ensuring a consistent and technically rigorous methodology, prioritization, and reporting across control framework management, enterprise and regulatory assessments, external and third-party risk, cyber risk, issues management, and cloud posture.
• Lead cloud security posture management, including configuration and hardening review, identity and access design, and asset and attack-surface visibility.
• Assess third-party, medical device, and B2B integration risk with real attention to the technical interfaces, data exchange, and connectivity involved, not just questionnaire responses.
• Maintain the cyber risk register and apply quantitative analysis to technical findings, translating architecture and control gaps into decision-ready risk.
• Drive remediation of findings from architecture reviews, assessments, audits and testing through to validated technical closure.
• Ensure applications and platforms meet information security policies, standards, and applicable regulatory frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, NIST, PCI), and inform updates to technical and secure-design standards as technology and threats evolve.
• Partner with engineering, cloud, data, and AI teams to embed security into how systems operate.
• Advance AI enablement across the team, applying AI-assisted automation to assessment, architecture review, and reporting workflows to strengthen efficiency gains and scale the portfolio's output.
