About the role
Job Description The Role This role strengthens GM’s cybersecurity and IT control environment by designing, engineering, implementing, assessing, and continuously improving controls across SaaS platforms, AI-enabled services, cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure, identity platforms, and data environments. The role combines technical control engineering with objective, technically grounded assurance to determine whether controls are appropriately designed and operating effectively. You’ll partner across Cybersecurity, IT, Finance, engineering, and business teams to embed effective controls into technology solutions, improve GRC tooling and data flows, and provide clear, decision-ready insights on cyber and IT risk. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can operate across organizational boundaries, challenge weak control designs, and translate complex technical risk into practical outcomes for leadership. What You'll Do • Serve as a technical subject matter expert for cybersecurity and IT controls across applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, SaaS, identity, and data environments. • Design and refine control patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures aligned with NIST, ISO, CIS, and SOX requirements. • Translate policies and standards into actionable, technically feasible control requirements for engineering and product teams. • Engineer and enhance controls assurance workflows and data integrations across platforms such as ServiceNow IRM, logging platforms, IAM tools, and cloud-native security capabilities. • Develop and support automation, scripts, and data pipelines that improve continuous control monitoring, evidence collection, traceability, and scalability. • Partner with platform, IAM, vulnerability management, cloud security, data protection, and third-party risk teams to embed preventative and detective controls into solutions and services. • Own end-to-end delivery of control assessments, including scoping, execution, documentation, stakeholder alignment, and reporting. • Assess the design and operating effectiveness of controls across applications, infrastructure, cloud, SaaS, identity, and data platforms. • Evaluate technical evidence—including configurations, access data, logs, and automated outputs—to determine control effectiveness and identify opportunities to strengthen control design. • Identify control gaps such as excessive access, weak segregation of duties, monitoring gaps, and insecure configurations, then recommend practical, risk-based improvements. • Validate that remediation addresses root cause, is sustainable in the environment, and remains aligned with GM standards and applicable regulations. • Assess cyber and IT risks by considering threats, vulnerabilities, data sensitivity, architectural dependencies, business impact, and likelihood. • Prioritize issues and clearly articulate risk tradeoffs, options, and recommendations to control owners and leadership. • Provide concise, executive-ready reporting on control posture, key risks, and remediation status using data from GRC and technical platforms. • Clarify and reinforce control ownership and accountability across Cybersecurity, IT, and business teams. • Advance continuous controls monitoring, automation, metrics, dashboards, and data-driven assurance practices that improve transparency and decision-making. • Improve controls assurance tooling, workflows, and data models to increase program efficiency, reduce manual effort, and enhance reporting quality. Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience. • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, IT audit, GRC,
