About the job
The Risk, Compliance and Integrity organization (RCI) brings together critical compliance, assurance, risk, and governance functions across the company to help meet compliance needs and enable our businesses to innovate securely. Operating as a critical second line of defense, we manage our operations through risk-based prioritization, technical validation, oversight, and consistent engagement with product engineering and legal counsel.

In this role, you will demands a deep understanding of AI/ML architectures, offensive security testing methodologies, and threat modeling, coupled with the ability to separately test existing and emerging cybersecurity and AI controls. As a second-line leader, you will need the ability to collaborate effectively across the engineering organization, provide constructive issues, and influence at all levels.

In addition to a deep technical security foundation, this role requires exceptional program management capabilities. The successful person will have a demonstrated ability to track, report on, and effectively manage complex technical assurance initiatives from inception to completion. This includes defining clear testing objectives, establishing metrics, monitoring the first line's remediation progress, and ensuring timely and accurate reporting to engineering stakeholders and risk committees.
