Document investigative steps, evidence, decisions, remediation progress, and outcomes in a clear, consistent, and repeatable manner; identify recurring issues, process gaps, and broader trends, and escalate them appropriately.
Support vulnerability management activities, including scan coordination, review of findings, remediation tracking, follow-up on overdue items, and validation of progress against defined timelines.
Maintain the risk register, including risk descriptions, owners, mitigation plans, status updates, and supporting records, and work alongside Business Analysts and process owners to identify and document operational risks, control gaps, and dependencies revealed through incidents, investigations, or project work.
Assist with Operational Risk Council activities by preparing materials, tracking action items, and maintaining meeting records, and organize documentation and evidence needed for audits, regulatory requests, and internal reviews.
Partner with the Compliance team to support security and privacy requirements related to client contractual obligations, Regulation S-P, and emerging technology use cases.
Support security procedures, policy updates, and awareness efforts by helping keep documentation current and identifying useful communication or training opportunities based on trends and observed issues.

Required and Preferred Qualifications:

Experience and Background

Requires 3–5 years of working experience in information security, IT Infrastructure, systems administration, networking, and/or technical support; additional audit, compliance, or risk-related experience is helpful.
Relevant certifications may include Security+, CySA+, ISC2 entry-level certifications, GSEC, or similar information security, audit, or risk-related certifications.
Associate’s degree preferred but not required.

Skills and Knowledge

Working knowledge of and experience with security operations activities such as alert triage, vulnerability tracking, investigation workflows, escalation, and documentation.
Proficiency using security and IT tools such as endpoint protection, vulnerability management platforms, SIEM, ticketing systems, dashboards, and related technologies.
Strong written and verbal communication skills across teams with different technical and operational backgrounds.
Ability to follow procedures carefully, improve documentation where needed, and manage work with minimal supervision.
Sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize effectively when handling multiple issues.
Familiarity with CIS Controls, NIST, CISA publications, and related standards is helpful.

Compensation:

The base salary for this role is $80,500 - $107,500 per year with an additional annual performance bonus.
