Information Security Risk & Vulnerability Management Analyst

Overview:

The Information Security Risk & Vulnerability Management Analyst is an individual contributor responsible for executing cybersecurity risk management, vulnerability management, and control assurance activities across the JFG enterprise. This role supports the identification, assessment, prioritization, and remediation of technology risks and vulnerabilities in alignment with JFG’s risk tolerance, regulatory expectations, and internal control standards. The analyst performs risk analysis, control validation, vulnerability lifecycle management, and remediation coordination to help reduce overall cyber risk exposure.

Working under the direction of the Information Security Risk & Resiliency Manager, this position operationalizes cyber risk governance processes, including issues and exceptions management, audit support, control effectiveness validation testing, and risk reporting. The analyst operates across multiple security domains, with a primary focus on cyber risk management and vulnerability management, while supporting resilience and post-incident improvement activities. In collaboration with IT, Enterprise Risk Management, Internal Audit, and business stakeholders, this role translates technical findings into business-aligned risk insights and drives remediation outcomes.

This position requires strong analytical capability, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to communicate risk in both technical and business terms. The role is supported by third-party services and enterprise tools, with occasional off-hours support required. Minimal travel less than 5% is expected.
