Head of Communications, Compliance and Reporting

The Head of Communications, Compliance & Reporting (CCR) is a highly visible leadership role accountable for building the function that serves as the single front door for information requests, regulatory and audit response, senior leader directives, metrics and recurring reporting across Cyber Product, Platforms & Engineering. The function directly supports Vulnerability Operations, including frontier-AI model scanning, where the pace of discovery and the level of executive, audit and regulatory scrutiny demand disciplined, defensible reporting. This leader designs and owns one signal stream for all inbound demand, including requests for information (RFIs), regulatory reporting and inquiries, internal audit and Lines of Defense (LOD) requests, bespoke Board and senior leader directives, and reporting-as-a-service content. Requests are ingested, prioritized, triaged and consolidated through a single intake; responses are reconciled, polished and tailored to the audience; and final outputs are distributed through controlled channels and retained in a searchable library of record. The role is accountable for transparent prioritization; accurate, defensible and on-time responses; a modernized metrics framework, built with operations teams and application owners, that makes clear what is measured, why and how; reliable reporting-as-a-service content, cadence and access; and the responsible use of AI and automation to consolidate disparate datasets and eliminate manual effort. The Head of CCR serves as a trusted partner and liaison to the Managing Director, Cyber Product, Platforms & Engineering and the Deputy CISO. Key Responsibilities Strategy, Operating Model & Intake Design Design, build and own a single intake for all inbound demand, replacing fragmented and ad hoc channels with one front door and a clear RACI across contributing teams and subject matter experts. Establish a transparent prioritization and triage model with defined criteria, service levels and escalation paths, so that risk, urgency and audience drive sequencing rather than volume or proximity. Govern the end‑to‑end request lifecycle from ingestion through consolidation, approval, distribution and archival, combining overlapping requests into coordinated responses to reduce the burden on contributing teams. Baseline request volume, cycle time, on‑time delivery and rework before scaling or automating, and reassess the operating model as priorities, regulatory expectations and organizational structures evolve. Regulatory, Audit & Compliance Response Serve as the coordinated intake and egress channel for regulatory, internal audit and LOD inquiries, ensuring responses and evidence are reconciled, reviewed and approved before internal and/or external distribution. Own commitment tracking for regulatory and audit deliverables, including owners, due dates and dependencies, with proactive escalation of delivery risk. Maintain an auditable record of what was requested, what was provided, by whom and when, ensuring consistency across repeated or related inquiries. Partner with Risk, Compliance, Legal and Internal Audit to align response standards and evidence expectations with firm policy, and prepare leaders for regulatory, audit and client engagements. Metrics, Reporting‑as‑a‑Service & Automation Partner with operations teams and application owners to modernize what the organization measures, moving toward outcome‑based metrics that reflect real risk reduction, and clearly explain why each metric matters and how it is calculated, sourced and interpreted. Partner with the Head of Threat & Vulnerability Operations to design and deliver the metrics and reporting narrative for Vulnerability Operations, including frontier‑AI model scanning, translating emerging findings, program progress and data‑quality considerations into consistent, defensible reporting. Manage reporting as a product: own and scale Reporting‑as‑a‑Service, a standardized, self‑service model with defined content, format, cadence, quality control, stakeholder onboarding and access, whether built internally or delivered through third‑party platforms. Govern metric definitions, methodologies, templates and style guidance, and curate a library of prior responses, approved narratives and evidence organized for rapid retrieval, reuse and version control. Apply AI and emerging technologies to consolidate disparate datasets, accelerate drafting and reconciliation, and automate repetitive manual processes, with appropriate human review and in partnership with data, engineering and platform teams. Team Leadership & Build‑Out Build and lead a small, high‑performing team spanning intake and coordination, metrics and reporting, and communications, with clear roles, standards and expectations. Foster a culture of service, accountability and precision, developing team capability in structured writing, data storytelling and AI‑enabled tooling so the function scales without single points of failure. Executive & Stakeholder Engagement Serve as a trusted partner and liaison to the Deputy CISO and the Managing Director, Cyber Product, Platforms & Engineering, managing senior leader directives through to closure and keeping leadership informed of status, risks and emerging themes. Influence without authority across a federated organization, quickly building trusted, durable relationships with stakeholders who hold divergent priorities and definitions of success, and aligning them on shared definitions and outcomes. Translate complex technical topics into clear, bottom‑line‑up‑front briefings, Board and committee materials and regulatory narratives, tailoring depth and breadth to each audience and presenting to executives, the Board, regulators and auditors as required. Qualifications Education Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. Advanced degree preferred. Relevant certifications (CISA, CRISC, CISM, PMP, product management, or related) desired. Experience 8+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity, technology risk, compliance or related functions in large, regulated environments, with significant depth in reporting, metrics, regulatory or audit response, or executive communications. Product management experience, or experience owning reporting products or platforms, organic or third‑party, subject to recurring audits, reviews, assessments and regulatory scrutiny in a complex, high‑stakes operational environment. Demonstrated success designing intake, workflow and prioritization processes that bring structure to high‑volume, cross‑functional demand. Proven experience managing regulatory, audit and LOD engagements, including evidence coordination, commitment tracking and response quality control. Track record building metrics frameworks and standardized reporting for executive, Board and regulatory audiences, ideally in vulnerability management or security operations. Hands‑on experience applying AI, automation and data tools to consolidate disparate datasets and streamline reporting. Experience leading teams and influencing without authority, driving delivery through contributors outside the direct reporting line. Skills & Characteristics Exceptional written and oral communication, with the ability to concisely summarize technical topics and tailor depth and breadth to diverse stakeholder needs. Relationship builder who earns trust quickly across senior, technical and control‑function stakeholders, including those with competing priorities.
