  • Working knowledge of U.S. Technology regulations (e.g., SOX, CCPA/CPRA, PCI, NY‑DFS) is recommended.
  • Familiarity with global regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CBI, DORA, MAS, APRA, BaFin) is preferred but not required.
  • Ability to work in a team-based environment and communicate effectively and efficiently with others domestically and globally.
