Building strong virtual relationships and setting clear expectations with stakeholders can further support effective risk management and compliance.

Overview
The IT GRC Analyst operates within the enterprise Cybersecurity Operations function and supports the Information Technology, Information Systems, and other technology teams aligned under the Chief Information Officer.

Core responsibilities include ensuring operational alignment with frameworks such as GLBA, FFIEC, SOX, NIST CSF, and the Computer Risk Institute (CRI) Profile; conducting IT assessments and Risk Control Self Assessments (RCSAs); maintaining control libraries; and supporting recurring testing, reporting, and metrics analysis and response. The analyst contributes to recurring reporting cycles, supports departmental risk remediation and response efforts associated with findings and risks, and helps drive continuous improvement of governance practices through collaboration, documentation, and control maturity efforts.

The analyst also contributes to the development and maintenance of IT policies and procedures and supports the definition and tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs) and key risk indicators (KRIs).

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, including Excel and SharePoint for documentation and collaboration.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including drafting audit findings and control narratives.
