Governance, Compliance, and Risk Specialist (Mid-Level)(Banking)
Job Description
If you're like us, you're tired of having a normal job.
You're looking for something bigger. Something that means more than just a 9-5.
You want to look back at the end of your career and be able to say, “Wow, we really made a difference with our work.”
To you, working to build a company from the early stages is exciting, not scary.
You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and are looking for the freedom that comes from working at home.
You want an environment where your ideas make a difference and your voice is heard.
If this sounds like you, then you might be one of us.
We're always looking for amazing people to join our team. And this is an opportunity for you to do just that.
We are a growing cybersecurity consulting firm that specializes in Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services exclusively in the banking industry.

This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of something big. This is the opportunity to be a part of building an excellent company in a growing field.
If cybersecurity is exciting to you, but feels a little daunting, that's okay. We will teach you our methodology and processes. But to do that, we do require some experience for this position. Because we work exclusively in the financial institution space, WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS AT LEAST 1 YEAR OF BANKING OR CREDIT UNION EXPERIENCE IN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
