This role sets the enterprise cyber risk posture, translates business risk appetite into enforceable governance mechanisms, and ensures cybersecurity risk is measured, reported, and managed as a business risk and not a purely technical concern.

Lead the global cybersecurity compliance strategy, ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory, legal, and contractual requirements, with an emphasis on establishing rigorous security controls and repeatable compliance processes. Provide senior oversight of cybersecurity audits, assessments, and assurance activities; ensure consistent and defensible outcomes. Govern cyber supply‑chain and third‑party risk management, embedding security risk considerations into vendor lifecycle processes. Ensure cybersecurity risk is integrated into business continuity, crisis management, and enterprise resilience planning. Build, lead, develop, and mentor the Security GRC team, establishing clear interfaces with other cybersecurity and business functions. Ensure cybersecurity governance and compliance requirements are appropriately tailored to regional regulatory, legal, and operational realities while maintaining global consistency. Partner with regional business and technology leaders to address localized cyber risk scenarios, including manufacturing, operational technology (OT), and supply‑chain considerations. Oversee regional regulatory compliance obligations (e.g., data protection, critical infrastructure, export controls) and support regulatory inquiries or audits as required. Enable effective risk communication and escalation between regions and corporate leadership, ensuring timely visibility of material risks. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Risk Management, Business Administration, or a related field required; Master’s degree (e.g., MBA or MS in Information Security/Risk Management) strongly preferred. Minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, technology risk, or enterprise risk management, including 7+ years leading and building GRC, risk, or compliance functions within complex, preferably global, organizations.

CISSP or CISM certification required; CRISC, CGEIT, or similar risk‑focused certification strongly preferred.
