- Strong written and verbal communication, sound judgment, and a collaborative, practical approach. Able to prioritize work, meet deadlines, advise executives, and adapt in a changing environment.
- Experience building or improving risk programs, assessments, playbooks, and scalable processes. Able to analyze contractual, privacy, security, and AI issues and provide concise, business-focused guidance; familiarity with procurement and vendor pricing is helpful.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and relevant business systems, TPRM/GRC platforms, security-rating tools, and contract lifecycle management systems. Experience with AI-assisted contract review tools is beneficial.
- Working knowledge of security, privacy, and AI frameworks and regulations, such as NIST CSF, NIST AI RMF, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001/27701/42001, HIPAA, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act, and U.S. state privacy laws. Familiarity with SIG, CAIQ, or similar assessment tools.
