·   Build and mature scalable governance and third-party risk capabilities, including clear procedures, documentation, controls, reporting, and stakeholder accountability.

·   Continuously review and optimize processes for efficiency and effectiveness in a changing threat environment, leveraging automation wherever appropriate.

·   Partner with customers and internal relationship leaders to respond to cybersecurity inquiries and support time-sensitive business needs.

·   Collaborate with IT, Product Development, Procurement, Compliance, business leaders, and other Security teams to reduce risk and address customer, contractual, regulatory, and operational requirements.

·   Ensure alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, company policies, and cybersecurity best practices.

·   Develop and maintain program procedures, standards, and supporting documentation.

·   Define and communicate program performance, risk trends, priorities, and recommendations to senior management and other stakeholders.

·   Stay current on industry trends, emerging threats, and evolving cybersecurity governance and third-party risk practices.

·   Foster a culture of security awareness, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

·   Manage relationships with external partners, including security vendors and consultants.

Required Skills:

·   Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

·   10+ years of cybersecurity, technology risk, governance, risk and compliance, or related experience, including at least five years in a people-management role.

·   Demonstrated experience leading cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance programs, with significant responsibility for third-party cyber risk management.

·   Experience building a new cyber GRC or third-party risk capability from the ground up, or materially rebuilding and maturing an existing program.

·   Experience managing customer cybersecurity questionnaires, risk assessments, exceptions, and risk-register processes.

·   Experience leading and developing teams across geographies, ideally including US- and India-based employees.

·   Strong customer-facing and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively with senior leaders, business partners, Procurement, Compliance, IT, Product Development, and Security teams.

·   Ability to translate cybersecurity risk into clear business impact, recommendations, metrics, and executive-level reporting.

·   Experience improving processes through standardization, workflow design, and automation.

·   Strong judgment, organization, responsiveness, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and rapid-turnaround requests.

Preferred Qualifications:

·   Cybersecurity risk experience within healthcare, banking, financial services, or another highly regulated industry.
