The Manager, Security Compliance & Risk Management, is responsible for leading the Security Compliance and Risk Management function within the Information Security organization.

This manager serves as a critical bridge between the security program and the business.  The role will translate risk into actionable insight for executives, boards, auditors, regulators, and customers.
This is a people manager role overseeing a team of security engineers responsible for the day-to-day operationalization of audit, compliance, control, and FedRAMP Continuous Monitoring activities.

• Drive timely identification, escalation, and resolution of cybersecurity risks and issues across the organization

• Serve as a trusted advisor to business and technology stakeholders, providing pragmatic, risk-based guidance that unblocks decisions rather than just flagging concerns

• Set clear priorities, delegate work effectively, and maintain team capacity across concurrent audit, compliance, and ConMon activities

• Communicate risk and compliance posture clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating audit findings and control gaps into concrete next steps

• Support the CISO in preparing board and executive committee materials on the state of the security and compliance program

Management Duties

• Carry out management responsibilities in accordance with the organization’s policies, procedures, and applicable laws. Responsibilities include interviewing, hiring, and training employees; planning, assigning, and directing work; appraising performance; rewarding and disciplining employees; and addressing complaints and resolving problems.
