The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in shaping, implementing, and overseeing a robust information security risk management initiative. This position requires a deep technical expertise in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), disaster recovery management, identity and access management, and cyber operations.
The CISO will lead daily security operations and strategically execute security initiatives to safeguard the organization’s data and systems from evolving cybersecurity threats.
