Sr. Manager, Cyber Risk & Analysis

Center 3 (19075), United States of America, McLean, Virginia
Sr. Manager, Cyber Risk & Analysis
Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today, powered by our passion for our customers. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity, reliability, and managing technology risk.
For years, the cybersecurity community has debated whether the CISO should report to the CIO or not. In regulated financial services, the answer is: both. The first-line CISO has operational responsibilities and reports to the CIO. The second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Technology Risk Management (TRM) organization have broader responsibilities for cybersecurity but also reliability, software quality, resilience, and other technology risks. The CTRO is independent, reports to the Chief Risk Officer, and oversees the work of the CISO and the CIO.
Technology Risk Management (TRM) is a small organization that packs a big punch. The ~100 professionals in TRM are trusted experts who oversee ~14,000 developers at Capital One. We raise the bar for excellence in cybersecurity, reliability, and tech risk. We shape strategy and decisions, challenge activities to ensure they meet our standards, and perform independent tests of our security and technology risk.
Our business leaders must make technology decisions constantly. TRM makes sure they have the tech risk information they need to make good decisions. Associates within TRM are highly-skilled information security, cybersecurity, site reliability engineering, technology, and risk management professionals. They have a wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to add value with their advice and to deliver high-impact results.
This position, Sr. Manager, Technology & Cyber Risk Advisor, will play a key role in the organization's second line of defense risk identification program by independently overseeing the organization's cybersecurity and technology risk taking and providing expertise and challenge during ongoing assessments.
As part of the second line of defense, you will collaborate closely with partners in cybersecurity, technology, the lines of business, and other risk management offices across the various lines of business, to perform and support evaluations of the firm's risk posture and offer independent advice and value-add recommendations regarding ways to reduce cybersecurity and technology risks. Having the ability to understand and translate data-driven analysis, business drivers, initiatives, and priorities, and translate them into meaningful risk analysis is critical to being a trusted advisor to our business stakeholders and partners.
Desired Outcomes:

• Be a trusted advisor and subject matter expert in your assigned Lines of Business

• Partner with first and second line peers to succinctly frame and report on technology and cybersecurity risks relative to risk appetite
• Identify opportunities to influence risk-taking strategies and ensure that aggregate risk is understood
• Introduce forward-looking risk measures that are relevant to the Lines of Business
