Senior Product Security Architect

Core Product Security Responsibilities:  

•    Cultivate security culture with your product technology and business colleagues. Products that have the right security culture will strive to prioritize sustainable controls and driving real risk reduction outcomes.  Embed threat modelling, security design & architecture reviews into product and application teams so they adopt our control products and create products that are secure from the start.

Identify unfamiliar technology components, capabilities, and business concepts and be self-motivated to learn all about them, applying critical thinking to identify hidden issues along the way.   
•    Be your product’s security thought leader.  Learn from your product and cybersecurity teams and share best practice in both directions.  Be recognized in your product as the clear point of escalation and subject matter expert for IT Risk and Cyber domains.  
•    Act with urgency managing emerging issues.  Proactively monitor Key Risk Indicators to ensure issues are identified, quantified, communicated, and managed in a timely manner, including recommendations for resolution, and identifying the root cause/key themes.  
•    Partner and influence across your product’s supply chain.  Work collaboratively with product, technology, and business colleagues on an on-going basis for business-as-usual audit and regulatory engagements, risk activities and project initiatives.
