• Present technical exposures in commercial, operational and regulatory terms to support informed executive decisions
• Challenge control weaknesses and establish pragmatic remediation plans with accountable business and technology owners
• Track material findings through to closure, escalating delays, residual risk or inadequate treatment where required
• Partner with engineering, architecture, application security, IAM, data security, infrastructure and incident-response teams
• Advise on major programmes, new products, technology investments and security-control design
• Produce meaningful risk reporting, metrics and executive-level insight rather than purely operational dashboards

• Support security education and engagement across the business to strengthen ownership of cyber risk

What You’ll Bring…

• 8+ years of information or cybersecurity experience, including senior responsibility for security risk across a regulated business, technology division or major product organisation

• Strong understanding of US financial-services regulation and supervisory expectations, including SEC and FINRA considerations
• Ability to convert complex technical findings into clear business impact, ownership decisions and proportionate treatment plans
• Evidence of leading security initiatives across organisational boundaries without relying solely on direct authority
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in cybersecurity, technology, computer science or a related discipline
• (Preferred) Experience supporting Equities, electronic trading, Global Markets or systematic-trading environments
• (Preferred) CISSP, CISM, CRISC or an equivalent recognised security qualification
