Job Description:
This position requires office presence of a minimum of 5 days per week and is only located in the location(s) posted. No relocation is offered.
Join AT&T and reimagine the communications and technologies that connect the world. Our Chief Security Office ensures that our assets are safeguarded through truthful transparency, enforce accountability, and master cybersecurity to stay ahead of threats. Bring your bold ideas and fearless risk-taking to redefine connectivity and transform how the world shares stories and experiences that matter. When you step into a career with AT&T, you won’t just imagine the future—you’ll be a part of creating it.
As Technology Risk Senior Cyber Risk and Controls Identification and Assessment, you will be responsible for providing independent oversight of the company’s enterprise-wide cybersecurity control functions in accordance with the Technology Risk Program.

You will develop and deliver reports on risk and control assessments to senior management and engage with stakeholders to ensure alignment and effective communication regarding risk management efforts. Additionally, you will help to provide coverage for regulatory issues with our global technology partners and assist with regulatory exams, requests, and meetings.
