Our client, a global financial services firm, is looking for a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst to join the team responsible for strengthening how the bank identifies, measures, and manages cyber risk. In this role, you’ll work closely with the global Risk organization, the CISO group, and technology partners to help maintain the bank’s Cybersecurity & Technology Risk framework and assess risk across key systems—including cloud platforms and third-party providers.  You’ll lead threat-based risk assessments, translate technical findings into clear risk ratings and remediation priorities, and provide constructive “effective challenge” on items like new technology deployments, control gaps, and risk acceptances. 

Responsibilities Include:
  • Partner with the global Risk team to help build and maintain the Cybersecurity & Technology Risk Management Framework.
  • Lead cyber threat and technology risk assessments across enterprise systems and applications, including cloud platforms and third-party environments.
  • Identify and quantify threat-driven risk scenarios using MITRE ATT&CK, develop risk scoring, and communicate remediation priorities to senior stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with the CISO organization, technology teams, business partners, and all three lines of defense to enhance control design, compliance, and resilience against emerging threats.
  • Partner with CSIRT to support timely monitoring, detection, and response, incorporating incident learnings into ongoing risk assessments and control enhancements.
  • Support adherence to cyber risk regulations and standards (e.g., FFIEC, OSFI, NIST) and contribute to internal/external audit readiness.
Requirements Include:
  • Bachelor’s degree (Computer Science / Engineering preferred) and 5+ years of experience in information security and/or technology risk roles within a complex environment.
  • Strong experience conducting cyber threat and risk assessments for enterprise systems and applications, including cloud security and cloud services.
  • Familiarity with key frameworks and regulatory guidance: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, FFIEC, OSFI (ISO knowledge a plus).
  • Background in risk assessment, audit, or second-line oversight (“effective challenge”), ideally within financial services.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into clear business impact and present to leadership.
  • Relevant certifications preferred: CISSP, CCSP, CISM, CEH (CISA a plus).
