  • Deliver training and enablement on data governance best practices to employees across the firm
  • Cloud Platform Expertise

  • Provide thought leadership on data governance across Office 365 and other cloud platforms
  • Design secure patterns, manage reporting and alerting, and guide the firm's cloud data strategy
  • Stay current with evolving cloud architectures, security technologies, and threat landscapes
  • What We're Looking For

    Experience Background

  • 7+ years of combined experience in IT, information security, risk management, or data governance

  • Proficiency in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) practices with strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Purview and other governance and data loss prevention tools
  • Knowledge of information security standards and frameworks (CSF, NIST, ISO 27001) and awareness of the evolving cyber threat landscape
  • Core Competencies

  • Exceptional collaboration, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and business-focused guidance for technical teams
  • Strong project management capabilities with experience managing risks associated with technology solutions
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to balance security, compliance, and business enablement
  • Education Certifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Information Assurance, Computer Science, or Information Systems preferred
  • Professional certifications such as CISA, CISM, GSEC, CISSP, or CRISC preferred
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Visio, and PowerPoint
