You will be responsible for the monitoring and testing of controls, reporting on control documentation, efficacy, performance, metrics, analysis to identify trends/anomalies, developing associated programs, and monitoring and advisory of remediation activities. You will develop playbooks and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure assurance process excellence and effective utilization of vendor resources, partnering with stakeholders on process automation, optimization, and tooling. You will manage a global team including a Scaled Assurance Program, focused on managing assurance against a scaled set of controls, and a Regional and Domain Assurance Program, focused on regional and directive monitoring and testing and serving as a primary liaison between regional leadership and RCI.
