This role serves as a key liaison between cybersecurity teams and US business, application, infrastructure, and technology owners, translating security findings into actionable remediation plans and driving accountability for timely risk reduction. The Exposure Management lead applies risk-based prioritization, facilitates cross-functional remediation efforts, identifies and removes barriers to resolution, and escalates significant or overdue risks to appropriate leadership.

 

The role also provides remediation governance, metrics, and executive-level reporting, helping leadership understand remediation performance, significant exposures, exceptions, recurring challenges, and areas requiring intervention. Through strong stakeholder engagement and cross-functional leadership, the Exposure Management lead helps ensure that cybersecurity risks are addressed consistently and driven through validated closure and measurable risk reduction.
