About the Role: We're looking for an Information Security Risk Oversight Lead who can translate cybersecurity risk into executive insight and action. Sitting in the Company's Second Line of Defense, the Chief Risk Office and reporting directly to our Head of Technology Risk, you will provide independent oversight and credible challenge across the firm's enterprise-wide information security program. Operating at the intersection of technology, risk management, cybersecurity, governance, and strategy, you will partner with the Chief Information Security Office, Engineering, and CTO teams to ensure cyber risks are appropriately identified, measured, monitored, and aligned with the firm's risk appetite. The "so what" is critical: your oversight will enable leadership to understand not only what the risks are, but whether they are being managed effectively—and where decisive action is required to strengthen the firm's overall security posture. Key Responsibilities Serve as the primary Second Line risk advisor for cybersecurity-related risks and lead independent oversight and credible challenge of First Line of Defense activities. Identify and measure threat-actor initiated risks and risk scenarios that may impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information systems. Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of security controls, particularly across complex, high-risk, or enterprise-scale technology initiatives. Quantify risk and control posture to support executive decision-making through scenario analysis and metrics (e.g., KRIs, KPIs, SLA/SLOs, ALE). Review and challenge security-driven programs and initiatives to ensure alignment with enterprise risk appetite, industry control frameworks, and regulatory expectations. Partner closely with Information Security and Engineering teams to enhance risk awareness, accountability, and control ownership. Identify root causes of control failures, security incidents, or systemic weaknesses and support the development of actionable, preventative recommendations. Prepare and present risk oversight materials to senior leadership committees, internal audit, Board of Directors, and regulatory bodies as required. Act as a strategic thought partner to senior leaders by advising on emerging threats, evolving regulatory requirements, and industry best practices. Required Qualifications Bachelor's Degree required. 10+ years of experience in Information Security. 10+ years of experience in IT or Cyber Risk Management. Demonstrated experience operating within a Second Line of Defense or independent risk oversight function. Strong understanding of cybersecurity control frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, MITRE ATT&CK, ISO 27001, COBIT, CIS). Experience interacting with Boards, regulators, internal audit, and/or executive governance forums. Authorized to work in the United States. Preferred Qualifications Relevant professional certifications (e.g., FAIR, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA). Experience in regulated industries (e.g., financial services). Strong understanding of cloud security, application security, identity and access management, and cyber resilience. Familiarity with enterprise risk management methodologies and risk appetite frameworks. Core Competencies Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to provide constructive challenge. Executive-level communication and presentation skills. Ability to influence without direct authority. Strategic mindset with strong attention to detail. High integrity and independent judgment.
