The role combines technical control engineering with objective, technically grounded assurance to determine whether controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively.\nYou’ll partner across Cybersecurity, IT, Finance, engineering, and business teams to embed effective controls into technology solutions, improve GRC tooling and data flows, and provide clear, decision-ready insights on cyber and IT risk. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can operate across organizational boundaries, challenge weak control designs, and translate complex technical risk into practical outcomes for leadership.\nWhat You'll Do\nServe as a technical subject matter expert for cybersecurity and IT controls across applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, SaaS, identity, and data environments.\n\nDesign and refine control patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures aligned with NIST, ISO, CIS, and SOX requirements.\n\nTranslate policies and standards into actionable, technically feasible control requirements for engineering and product teams.\n\nEngineer and enhance controls assurance workflows and data integrations across platforms such as ServiceNow IRM, logging platforms, IAM tools, and cloud-native security capabilities.\n\nDevelop and support automation, scripts, and data pipelines that improve continuous control monitoring, evidence collection, traceability, and scalability.\n\nPartner with platform, IAM, vulnerability management, cloud security, data protection, and third-party risk teams to embed preventative and detective controls into solutions and services.\n\nOwn end-to-end delivery of control assessments, including scoping, execution, documentation, stakeholder alignment, and reporting.\n\nAssess the design and operating effectiveness of controls across applications, infrastructure, cloud, SaaS, identity, and data platforms.\n\nEvaluate technical evidence-including configurations, access data, logs, and automated outputs-to determine control effectiveness and identify opportunities to strengthen control design.\n\nIdentify control gaps such as excessive access, weak segregation of duties, monitoring gaps, and insecure configurations, then recommend practical, risk-based improvements.\n\nValidate that remediation addresses root cause, is sustainable in the environment, and remains aligned with GM standards and applicable regulations.\n\nAssess cyber and IT risks by considering threats, vulnerabilities, data sensitivity, architectural dependencies, business impact, and likelihood.\n\nPrioritize issues and clearly articulate risk tradeoffs, options, and recommendations to control owners and leadership.\n\nProvide concise, executive-ready reporting on control posture, key risks, and remediation status using data from GRC and technical platforms.\n\nClarify and reinforce control ownership and accountability across Cybersecurity, IT, and business teams.\n\nAdvance continuous controls monitoring, automation, metrics, dashboards, and data-driven assurance practices that improve transparency and decision-making.\n\nImprove controls assurance tooling, workflows, and data models to increase program efficiency, reduce manual effort, and enhance reporting quality.\n\nYour Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)\nBachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.\n\n5+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, IT audit, GRC, technology risk, or IT controls assurance.\n\nStrong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST, ISO, and CIS, as well as IT General Controls domains.\n\nHands-on experience with controls and security capabilities across cloud platforms, SaaS, identity platforms, and modern enterprise environments.\n\nFamiliarity with regulatory and compliance requirements such as SOX, PCI, GDPR, or CCPA.\n\nExperience using controls assurance or GRC tools, such as ServiceNow IRM, and evaluating technical control evidence, including configurations, logs, access data, and automated reports.\n\nAbility to identify systemic and architectural risks-not just isolated control issues-and recommend technically sound, risk-based solutions.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to negotiate, influence, and persuade stakeholders across Cybersecurity, IT, Finance, and business teams.\n\nStrong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple assessments, remediation activities, and stakeholder priorities with minimal rework.\n\nWhat Can Give You A Competitive Advantage (Preferred Qualifications)\nBackground in IT audit, consulting, technology risk, cybersecurity engineering, or a related technical risk discipline.\n\nRelevant certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CRISC, CISM, or CCSP.\n\nExperience advancing automation, continuous monitoring, or data-driven controls reporting through AI, scripting, data analytics, or dashboarding.\n\nExperience designing or assessing IT controls in complex, global enterprise environments.\n\nExperience with ServiceNow IRM, control libraries, evidence automation, or integrations with IAM, vulnerability management, logging, and cloud security platforms.\n\nExperience applying unified controls frameworks across multiple regulatory, security, and business requirements.\n\nSupervisory or people-leadership experience, including coaching, mentoring, or coordinating the work of others.\n\nDemonstrated ability to drive timely, sustainable remediation with clear ownership and alignment to enterprise standards.\n\nGM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role.
