The Role

As our Cyber Risk and Compliance Specialist, you will occupy a critical role that is 50% technical auditor and 50% security advocate. You will ensure the integrity of our financial systems through IT SOX compliance while simultaneously maturing our global compliance posture (HIPAA/NIS2) and building a high-integrity security culture through a comprehensive Security Awareness program.

Focus A: IT SOX & Financial Integrity (60%)

• Program Ownership: Lead the IT SOX program and design, implement, and test IT General Controls (ITGCs), IT Application controls (ITACs) and Key Reports (IPE) across our enterprise applications, databases, and infrastructure.

• Audit Management: Serve as the primary "translator" between technical teams and external auditors, ensuring evidence is accurate, timely, and defensible.

• Deficiency Management: Lead the root-cause analysis for any control failures and partner with stakeholders to build long-term, remediation plans.

Focus B: HIPAA, NIS2 & Risk Advisory (30%)

• Healthcare Compliance (HIPAA): Act as the technical SME for the HIPAA Security Rule, ensuring controls protect PHI, including controls monitoring and providing guidance to management for new systems.

• International Resilience (NIS2): Lead the alignment of our security posture with the NIS2 Directive, focusing on key areas in the directive for our European operations.

• Strategic Risk Assessments: Conduct deep-dive risk assessments for new technologies and vendors, ensuring compliance is baked in from the procurement stage.

Focus C: Security Awareness & Training (10%)

• Program Development: Manage the security awareness program that goes beyond "check-the-box" training. You will create engaging content for diverse audiences, from senior leadership to staff.

• Policy Promotion: Translate dense Information Security Policies into digestible, actionable "good practices" for IT administrators and data owners.

• Culture Building: Design targeted communication campaigns to increase internal reporting of security incidents and reinforce the importance of compliance.

Qualifications

• Experience: 5–7 years in IT Audit, IT Compliance, or Cyber Risk.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Expert-level understanding of SOX 404 (ITGCs) and a strong working knowledge of the HIPAA Security Rule and NIS2.

• Frameworks: Proficiency in applying NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, or COBIT.

• Certifications: CISA is highly preferred; CISSP or CRISC is a major plus.

• Skills: The ability to explain to key stakeholders why a certain control is necessary without sounding like an auditor.

• Technology: Experience with ERP systems, such as SAP (ECC/S4 HANA) etc., cloud environments like Microsoft Azure, AWS etc., GRC systems such as Auditboard, Workiva or other.
