About the Role

We advise large U.S. banks, broker-dealers, and insurers on the most consequential cyber security problems they face - the ones that show up in MRAs, MRIAs, Consent Orders. As a Senior Consultant on our Cyber & Regulatory Remediation team, you will lead client-facing workstreams that translate regulator findings into defensible, executable remediation plans, and then drive those plans to closure alongside CISO, Risk, and Audit leadership.

This is not a generic GRC role. You will own the substance: writing remediation roadmaps that an OCC, FRB, or NY DFS examiner will accept, hardening the controls that fail under exam, and personally pushing technical workstreams - incident response, vulnerability and patch management, and identity - across the finish line.

What You'll Do

• Lead regulatory remediation programs. Translate MRAs, MRIAs, Matters Requiring Attention, Consent Orders, and 500.17 (NY DFS)cybersecurity event notifications into prioritized remediation plans with defensible milestones, evidence requirements, and validation criteria.
• Run point with examiners and internal audit. Prepare clients for FRB, OCC, FDIC, NY DFS, SEC, and FFIEC exams and continuous-monitoring touchpoints. Draft response letters, walkthroughs, and evidence packages. Defend the work.
• Drive technical remediation, not just documentation. Partner with client CISO, IT Risk, Infrastructure, and IAM teams to actually close findings - not just status-report them. Push for engineering outcomes, not slideware.
• Runcyberincident response engagements. Lead or co-lead client-side IR for material events: containment strategy, forensic coordination, regulator and law-enforcement notification timing, executive and board communications, and post-incident remediation.
• Strengthen vulnerability and patch management programs. Assess current-state VM/patch operations, design risk-based SLAs, build exception governance, and operationalize tooling (Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7, Wiz, ServiceNow VR) so remediation actually happens at SLA.
• Lead IAM remediation workstreams. Drive privileged access management, joiner-mover-leaver, recertification, segregation-of-duties, and identity governance improvements. Reduce standing privilege and clean up the access debt regulators flag.
• Coach the team. Mentor analysts and consultants. Review their deliverables. Raise the bar on what "good" looks like in a remediation deliverable.
• Grow the practice. Contribute to proposals, thought leadership, and methodology assets. Identify follow-on work with existing clients.

Required Regulatory Expertise

You should be able to walk into a client room and speak credibly to at least three of the following frameworks and regimes - not from a study guide, but from having done the work:

• Federal Reserve Board (FRB) / SR 11-7 model risk, SR 20-24 and SR 21-14cyberand operational resilience guidance, MRAs and MRIAs.
• OCC Heightened Standards (12 CFR Part 30, Appendix D) and OCCcyberrisk expectations.
• NY DFS Part 500 - including the 2023 amendments: CISO reporting to the Board, governance, 72-hour incident notification, ransomware payment notification, asset inventory, MFA, encryption, and Class A company requirements.
• FFIECCybersecurity Assessment Tool, IT Examination Handbook (Information Security, Business Continuity, Operations).
• SECCybersecurity Disclosure Rules (Regulation S-K Item 106, Form 8-K Item 1.05) and Reg S-P amendments.
• NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171; ISO/IEC 27001/27002; CIS Controls.
• SOX ITGC, PCI DSS 4.0, GLBA Safeguards Rule, and SOC 1/SOC 2 attestation work - nice-to-have.

Required Technical & Operational Expertise Cyber

• Hands-on experience leading or coordinating IR for ransomware, business email compromise, third-party breach, insider, and nation-state events.
• Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-61, MITRE ATT&CK, and the practical mechanics of containment, eradication, and recovery in complex enterprise environments.
• Comfort coordinating across legal, privacy, communications, forensics (Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Kroll, Unit 42), insurance, and regulators under time pressure.
• Experience drafting and defending incident notifications and regulator communications under NY DFS Part 500, SEC 8-K Item 1.05, GDPR, and state breach laws.

• Demonstrated experience designing or remediating enterprise VM programs: scanning coverage, risk scoring (CVSS, EPSS, KEV), SLA design, exception governance, and metrics.
• Operational familiarity with Qualys, Tenable (Nessus / Tenable.io / Tenable.sc), Rapid7 InsightVM, Wiz, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and ServiceNow Vulnerability Response.
• Patch management at scale across Windows, Linux, network, container, and cloud workloads - including the political work of getting business units to actually patch.

• Strong grasp of IAM domains: identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), authentication and federation, joiner-mover-leaver, access certification, and SoD.
• Working experience with at least two of: SailPoint, Saviynt, Okta, Azure AD / Entra ID, Ping,CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea.
• Practical experience reducing standing privilege, designing role models, and remediating common findings (orphaned accounts, toxic combinations, shared service accounts, weak recertification).
