Consulting is a dynamic business focused on solving problems for our clients and serving our core markets through innovative solutions. As technology and AI continue to reshape the consulting landscape, we are looking for individuals who are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn. At Crowe, consultants are expected to build both technical and transferable skills, think critically, and use technology to solve real business problems. In this role, you will continuously learn, collaborate across teams, and explore how tools, including emerging AI capabilities, can improve efficiency, insights, and client outcomes.

In management at Crowe, you play a pivotal role in leading teams, guiding project execution, and deepening client relationships. You are expected to contribute to account planning, identify opportunities to add value, and ensure high-quality delivery. As your responsibilities expand, you take on broader account ownership, balancing project leadership with growing involvement in client strategy and solution development.

Success in this role comes from a growth mindset, strong communication skills, advanced critical thinking, and the ability to navigate new challenges with confidence.

At Crowe LLP, we bring deep industry specialization and functional expertise to help financial institutions stay ahead of evolving risks.

As a Cyber Security Assessment Manager, you will work directly with client stakeholders to understand their cybersecurity internal audit needs, collaborate with internal audit team members to plan and execute engagements, and deliver high-quality findings and recommendations that enhance the client's security posture and compliance efforts.

What You'll Do

• Cyber Resilience and Incident Response
• Infrastructure risk control frameworks, including second line of defense (2LOD) review
• Infrastructure-level Incident and Problem Management
• Integrated Cyber Auditing alongside business and operational auditors
• Assessing design and operational effectiveness of technical cybersecurity controls against regulatory expectations and industry frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, COBIT, ISO 27001).
• Preparing thorough audit documentation, reports, and deliverables independently and on schedule.
• Communicating audit procedures, findings, and recommendations directly to client stakeholders, including both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Maintaining audit quality and responsiveness throughout the engagement lifecycle, ensuring client satisfaction and confidence.

Basic Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of total professional experience.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience performing internal audits, specifically in cybersecurity, IT general controls, or infrastructure risk within a financial services or consulting environment.
• Strong working knowledge of cybersecurity operations, controls, and governance practices.
• Demonstrated ability to independently complete audits from planning through reporting, with minimal oversight.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in documenting observations and explaining results to clients.
• Bachelor's degree
• One or more relevant professional certifications: CISSP, CISA, or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with or auditing financial services regulations and guidelines (e.g., OCC, FDIC, FFIEC, NYDFS).
