Job Description:
Role Overview
We are looking for a Principal, Corporate Information Security to step in as a true Business Information Security Officer (BISO) for our internal business verticals. Think of this role as InfoSec Quality Assurance. You will sit directly between our technical security teams and business units—initially focusing on our Insurance business vertical—to evaluate security postures, assess risk maturity, and transition operations from an ad-hoc state to a defined, managed model. We want someone who can wear the CISO hat, guide executive teams to make smart risk decisions, and eventually expand coverage across additional business verticals. We are building a dynamic team and highly encourage professionals from all backgrounds to apply.

What You Will Do
You will act as the primary security advisor for business leaders across assigned verticals. For example, if a team wants to launch a new application or policy, you are the one reviewing architecture, assessing vulnerability data, and evaluating risk maturity before go-live. You will review internal security exceptions, track remediations, and translate technical vulnerabilities into actual business impact so executives understand the risk. You will also run governance reviews to ensure identity and access controls align with enterprise policies, while actively participating in incident response and change control oversight. It is all about finding ways to help the business move fast while staying completely secure.

• Core Competencies and Skills
• Enterprise Risk & Architecture
• Deep hands on experience in enterprise risk management and internal security architecture. You know how to threat model internal applications, design compensating controls, and ensure defense in depth principles are applied before a system goes into production.

• Executive Presence & Negotiation
• You are comfortable sitting in a room with a VP who is pushing to launch a project quickly. You have the backbone to hold the line on critical security requirements, but the business acumen to help them find a "secure yes" rather than just saying "no."

• Translation & Risk Articulation
• You know how to explain complex highly technical concepts using everyday language. Instead of telling a non technical leader about a "CVSS 9.8 vulnerability," you can translate that into operational or financial risk so they actually understand the business impact.

• Governance Frameworks
• A strong working grasp of governance frameworks like COBIT, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001. More importantly, you know how to operationalize these frameworks so they are actively used by the business, not just sitting in a binder.

• Security Design
• Familiarity with security design models like SABSA is a huge plus. You know how to trace a high-level business objective down to a specific technical control, ensuring security serves the business strategy.

• Collaborative Mindset & Culture Building
• You are a collaborative problem solver who brings diverse perspectives to the table. You act as a bridge between the engineering teams and the business units, actively mentoring others and fostering a security first culture across the organization.

• Job Qualifications:
• Tools & Technologies
• Vulnerability & Scan Management (Required): Hands-on expertise using Qualys (must-have) and Veracode to evaluate scan outputs, track vulnerabilities, and guide technical teams on remediation. Experience with Black Duck is highly preferred.

• Data & Reporting Visualization (Required): Proficiency in building executive risk dashboards using Google Looker / Looker Studio. Tableau, or Power BI to present actionable security metrics to leadership.

• GRC & Security Ratings (Required): Direct experience working within enterprise GRC platforms (e.g., Archer GRC) and leveraging third-party security rating platforms like BitSight or SecurityScorecard.

• AI Security & Emerging Threats (Strong Differentiator): Ability to evaluate security controls for enterprise AI adoption, including assessing risk around prompt injection, rogue AI, AI agents/zombie agents, and AI data pipeline governance.

• Education and Certifications
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in IT, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field (or 8+ years of equivalent senior security experience).

• Certifications: CISSP is required (rare exceptions considered only for exceptionally qualified candidates, so please still apply). CISM or SABSA certifications are additional pluses.

Annual Pay Range:
134,400 - 165,000 USD
