The team combines deep technical expertise with pragmatic risk management and is advancing innovative applications of artificial intelligence to strengthen the firm's defenses.

What You'll Do

• Strong critical thinking and risk judgment, with the ability to assess materiality, business impact, and compensating controls.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical issues into clear risk and business implications for stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple assessments and deadlines effectively in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Security, or a related field, or commensurate work experience.
