Who We're Looking For

This role will help to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of IT and Cybersecurity’s risk management, internal controls and corporate governance processes with the goal to assist management in risk mitigation.

Assessments include audits, compliance (e.g., SOC) and consulting engagements.
