About the Role The Company is in search of a Vice President for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) within its cybersecurity program. The successful candidate will be a key executive, directly reporting to the Chief Information Security Officer, and will be tasked with maintaining a robust security posture that meets regulatory obligations and client expectations across all business lines. This role demands a professional with a technical background and extensive experience in managing GRC teams, particularly within the financial services sector. The VP will be responsible for leading the design and implementation of cybersecurity governance frameworks, developing and enforcing IT security policies, and coordinating security and IT control ownership across business units. Additionally, the role involves leading enterprise-wide cyber risk assessments, overseeing the third-party technology risk management program, and ensuring compliance with a range of financial industry regulatory frameworks.
Candidates for this position should have a minimum of 8 years' experience in cybersecurity, IT risk, or compliance within a financial services environment, with a deep understanding of regulatory compliance frameworks such as SEC, NYDFS, FINRA, GLBA, and SOX.

A Bachelor's degree is required, and an advanced degree or relevant GRC certifications are strongly preferred.
