About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with a focus on enterprise risk and data security. This senior leadership role is pivotal in modernizing the approach to risk management and data protection, particularly in a global organization where data, cloud platforms, and emerging technologies are integral to operations. The successful candidate will be responsible for defining and leading the company's strategy in technology and cyber risk, data protection, and data governance. This includes setting the vision, operating model, and roadmap for enterprise risk management and data security, as well as building and leading global teams across these functions. The CISO will also be tasked with establishing governance that drives clear decisions and accountability, translating technical risk into business impact, and maintaining trust through credible risk reporting. The ideal CISO for this role at the company will have extensive experience in information security, cyber risk, and data protection at an enterprise scale, with a strong background in leading security or risk functions. They must possess a hands-on understanding of relevant technical areas such as cloud platforms, identity and access management, data security, DevSecOps, and third-party risk. The role requires a leader with strong executive communication skills, the ability to partner with various business functions, and a focus on outcomes rather than mere compliance. The CISO will be expected to be a strategic partner in the business, enabling secure innovation and ensuring that security decisions are practical, measurable, and aligned with business outcomes.
