Security Risk Specialist

Description:

• The mandate targets a liaison profile between the cybersecurity function and the decision-makers of a business portfolio, rather than an operational technical execution role.
  
• The wording of the mandate - tactical driver, guiding investments, ensuring consistency between security requirements and initiatives, sustainability of operations - positions the role as strategic support integrated into the portfolio, rather than a SOC analyst or security architect position.
  
• The required experience combines a general IT foundation of 8 to 12 years with at least 5 years of focused specialization in cybersecurity, technology risk management, or security governance, which sets this profile apart from a pure technical specialist.
  
• A significant portion of the qualifications focuses on simplification, influencing without hierarchical authority, and building trusting relationships with business partners, which underscores the advisory aspect of the role beyond technical expertise.
