- Review security and compliance language in contracts, addenda, and customer requirements when needed; identify concerns and coordinate feedback with Legal and relevant subject-matter experts.
- Stay current on relevant cybersecurity compliance expectations, audit practices, and industry developments.
Qualifications

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain security and compliance topics to technical, business, client, and audit audiences.
- Strong organizational and project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, dependencies, and stakeholders.
- Ability to self-direct, prioritize tasks independently, and deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines.
- Sound judgment and discretion when handling confidential, sensitive, or restricted information.
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Business, Risk Management, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
