Job Duties and Responsibilities

This role resolves operational friction between technical engineering units and business leadership by establishing an accountable, people-focused GRC team.

• Mentor, develop, and lead a dedicated team of GRC professionals to achieve departmental OKRs and sustain operational excellence.
• Direct the team in executing continuous monitoring and annual certification lifecycles for PCI-DSS, NYDFS, CCPA, and emerging statutory standards.
• Serve as the primary escalation leader for audit oversight, driving remediation accountability across cross-functional engineering and operational units.
• Oversee the enterprise policy lifecycle and formal exceptions architecture, ensuring controls reflect changing regulatory requirements and threat vectors.
• Guide the deployment of an enterprise-wide security awareness initiative and specialized training tracks tailored to high-risk roles.
• Partner with peer security leaders to introduce AI-first governance workflows that automate routine compliance tasks and increase team productivity.

• Demonstrated ability to build policy governance models, evaluate horizon regulatory changes, and implement scalable exception workflows.

• AI Application skills to direct team adoption of AI-enabled compliance tools and automated governance workflows.

• Critical experience leading GRC teams through complex audits and regulatory oversight within large-scale or highly regulated environments.

Additional Qualifications

• Familiarity with NIST CSF or CIS Controls frameworks

• Active professional certifications such as CISM, CISA, or CRISC

• Background in telecommunications or high-growth technology environments

• Minimum Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related field
