Summary
We are seeking a Senior Information Security Specialist to join our Cyber Risk & Secure Architecture team, a group that is transforming how cybersecurity risk is assessed, managed, and governed across the organization.

- Lead cross-functional initiatives and transformation projects focused on improving cyber risk management efficiency across security teams, business units, and technology stakeholders.
- Act as a business lead and subject matter expert for cyber risk workflow automation initiatives, collaborating with ServiceNow teams to design and implement automated solutions.
- Define requirements for risk intake automation, assessment routing, approval workflows, exception management, control validation, reporting, and dashboard capabilities.
- Support the migration of existing cyber risk processes into future-state ServiceNow capabilities and automated operating models.
