Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: <em>We Before Me</em>, <em>Do the Right Thing</em>, and <em>Get Things Done</em>. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er.</div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxlg9h7uAwNVmF5yldRo0KTLvd"><strong>About the opportunity</strong></h2> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Hb3bdOOkdobxlux8fGolLaFWgHd">We're looking for a security leader for the Americas who's equally comfortable in front of a regulator, inside a risk assessment, or reviewing a piece of technical architecture as part of a lean team. You'll start as Deputy CISO, Americas, with a clear and genuine path to taking on the full Regional CISO role as you build track record in the seat. How quickly that happens is up to you.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Y8NFdREEJoE3BNxdDjDlNtjIgje">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-EgbYdENkZowyEgxsDb5lwvRwgLh">This isn't a role for someone who wants to operate purely at policy level, nor for a deep specialist engineer who wants to be configuring tools. It's for someone who can move between both worlds: fluent enough in the technical detail to challenge the Engineers or spot a gap in an architecture review, but credible enough in governance to own a regulatory conversation or a board pack. This is a lean team, so we're not looking for someone to sit back and build a big team under them, this is a direct delivery role. More than anything, we want someone hungry to learn, genuinely curious, and comfortable solving problems they haven't solved before — that matters more to us than ticking every experience box.</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Gd4mdCO8soj3fDxAsRulevw9gte">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SbnQdI7UaocADQxCLQFlg2fPgVg"><strong>What you'll be doing</strong></div> <ul class="list-bullet1"> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-K3JidmFSQoz69mxl1Nclk87DgNc" data-list="bullet"> <div>Leading on audit defence, risk assessments, and technical architecture reviews across the Americas estate — this is a working role, not an oversight one.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VMuFdUDRQobigtxuIRdlkQ0agrb" data-list="bullet"> <div>Own the Americas security risk and compliance programme: policy, controls, risk register, regulatory engagement, and reporting.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-I4yadcm0uolEHPxLprvlr00Qgub" data-list="bullet"> <div>Manage the US GRC lead directly, and work closely with the US SecOps team lead on operational risk and incident response.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-RdSCdfgtroxEhQxtCrrlr4SAgqd" data-list="bullet"> <div>Build relationships with Legal, Compliance, Risk and Internal Audit, and represent security in Americas leadership forums.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SGhCd8u60oAzeZx40I1lf9kDgNc" data-list="bullet"> <div>Prepare for and take an increasing share of regulator and licensing engagement, building toward owning it outright.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-YbMZdCsfzogVjOxLaFCl3RfjgXd" data-list="bullet"> <div>Spot what's missing before it becomes a problem, raise an issue, build an action plan and drive it through to delivery.</div> </li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ILLtdWxQWodGjPxDTRZluyqmgZf">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Mz4TdZUpHosTMDxnv0ZlRD5fgPh"><strong>What we look for</strong></div> <ul class="list-bullet1"> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-AtXWd6wFKorlGgxpclZlKNtMgNh" data-list="bullet"> <div>A security professional with solid GRC and risk grounding, ideally from a regulated industry — TradFi (bank, broker-dealer, payments) or regulated crypto is a strong plus, though direct crypto experience isn't required.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ug8AdW4y3os3vcxbsZIlq4zig9c" data-list="bullet"> <div>Enough technical depth to hold your own in an architecture or risk conversation with highly technical engineers — you don't need to be the most technical person in the room, but you can't be lost in it either.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WIPZdso5gorv6gxlXT6lrGKCgde" data-list="bullet"> <div>A track record of genuine curiosity and self-directed learning over pure years-of-experience — we'd rather hire the sharp problem-solver who's two years light on paper than the person coasting on a long CV.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Y7bGdsWlYok1ohxoe0alK9cjgRf" data-list="bullet"> <div>Confident, clear communication with executives, auditors and regulators alike.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-BQH8dMU5IotWekxCVZolVJFJgCb" data-list="bullet"> <div>Comfortable with ambiguity.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-HmQhdnuVCoR9hRxBcWllPDfOg4g" data-list="bullet"> <div>Happy to work as part of a lean team and within an outsourcing model to central Group affiliates.</div> </li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-BG7hdEqlOoUjAYxfJaolOGFpgkh">&nbsp;</div> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-D1E5dgVk1og0C5xec2llyvwbgbd"><strong>Nice to have</strong></div> <ul class="list-bullet1"> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-E6NHdbdbUozXdrxzNDNlCSIfg4f" data-list="bullet"> <div>Direct exposure to NYDFS, SEC, FinCEN or similar regulators.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VulMdhI7go7N3VxnjRsl7jmKgCs" data-list="bullet"> <div>Prior experience in a role explicitly building toward a CISO or equivalent leadership seat.</div> </li> <li class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxlgRFE1sagKsFDC9FHFdIghbR" data-list="bullet"> <div>Digital assets or crypto industry familiarity.</div> </li> </ul> <div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxlgVPuTUkvd2eqjRtFCI2c4WI">&nbsp;</div> <h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxlg9dxafrr6cLmR5qB9XF6Amd"><strong>Perks &amp;
