Cybersecurity Audit & Continuous Assurance Director

We are seeking an exceptionally qualified, technical, and data-driven Director of Cybersecurity Audit & Continuous Assurance (Technical Program Management) to join our IT Internal Audit leadership team in Seoul, South Korea. Reporting directly to the Head of IT Audit, this role will serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for enterprise cybersecurity risks and technical audit execution across our high-scale, cloud-native e-commerce platforms.

In an era of hyper-scale e-commerce, traditional periodic auditing alone is insufficient. This leader will lead the execution of our global cybersecurity audit strategy while architecting and scaling an advanced Continuous Cybersecurity Control Monitoring (CCCM) and Automated Assurance Validation framework. By blending deep technical cybersecurity domain expertise with data engineering and analytics capabilities, this role will collaborate with relevant teams to develop methods to enhance identification, measurements, and mitigation of cyber risks across complex, microservice-based engineered systems.
