  • Working knowledge of COSO, IIA Standards, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
  • Ability to assess technology controls across change management, logical access, cloud environments, APIs, SDLC, and data flows
  • Experience with GRC platforms; LogicGate experience is a plus
  • Strong analytical skills using tools such as Excel, Tableau, or Snowflake
  • Excellent written communication and the ability to present clear, defensible risk conclusions to senior leaders
  • Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Business, or a related field
Nice to Have:
