Cybersecurity Risk and Oversight Manager
Role Overview
The Cybersecurity Audit & Oversight Manager serves as a second-line oversight function across Amphenol’s global operations.

The position works very closely with Internal Audit (Pedro’s group) and global operating companies to proactively raise the cybersecurity maturity level across the organization.
This is a hands-on, technically strong role that requires an audit mindset combined with deep cybersecurity knowledge. The individual must be able to engage confidently with auditors, IT leaders, and operational teams across more than 140 decentralized global operations.
