The Lead Information Security Analyst will serve in a support role on the Cybersecurity Business Information Security Officer (BISO) who will report directly to the BISO. This role will provide hands-on experience to support the Senior Leads and BISO mission of proactively driving down risk and managing and owning the cyber posture for the CIO teams and the lines of business. As a Lead Information Security Analyst, you will be part of a team of cyber professionals that share a passion for cyber risk management and solutioning cyber challenges.

This is a role for an experienced cybersecurity professional who can identify meaningful risks, turn complex data into actionable insights, and confidently present risks and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

• Apply a deep understanding of cybersecurity domains
