The role will be responsible for technology and security control performance testing, including evaluation of the Company's technology processes, infrastructure, and third-party connections in accordance with FFIEC and related industry guidance.

Additionally, you will prepare quarterly reports and present them to executive committees, perform pre and post-implementation reviews of the Company's strategy initiatives, and build effective relationships with senior technology and security leadership. Providing value-added recommendations to management to improve the control environment, increase operational effectiveness, or improve the quality of products and services provided by the Company will be essential.
