Job Summary:
Healthcare security isn't a compliance checkbox problem - it's a patient safety problem. At Froedtert ThedaCare, the Cybersecurity GRC Manager owns the program that connects our governance posture to real-world risk outcomes for patients, clinicians, and the communities we serve across Wisconsin.
This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy leadership role inside a Cybersecurity & Infrastructure team that operates with strategic intent and operational rigor. You will build and run a team of 5 GRC professionals, serve as the internal subject matter authority on compliance and risk, and translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable programs that the broader organization can execute against.
If you've built GRC programs from scratch (or rebuilt ones that needed it), know your way around a HIPAA gap analysis and a third-party risk assessment in equal measure, are people-focused, and lead with clarity rather than bureaucracy - this is the role for you

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 5 GRC analysts and specialists across compliance, risk, policy, and awareness domains
Establish clear role expectations, development pathways, and performance standards for each team member
Foster a team culture that balances rigor with pragmatism - we care about outcomes, not just documentation

Policy & Controls Frameworks
Own the cybersecurity policy lifecycle: authorship, review cadence, version control, approval workflows, and exception management
Maintain alignment to NIST CSF, managing control mapping, evidence collection, and control effectiveness measurement
Drive continuous improvement of the controls environment based on assessment findings, threat intelligence inputs, and regulatory changes
Audit & Assessment Management
Serve as the primary point of contact and program lead for internal and external cybersecurity audits and assessments
Coordinate evidence collection, manage stakeholder readiness, and oversee finding remediation tracking through to closure
Develop and maintain audit-ready documentation across all GRC domains
Security Awareness & Phishing Simulation
Own the enterprise security awareness program, including curriculum development, delivery scheduling, and effectiveness measurement
Manage the phishing simulation program end-to-end: scenario design, cadence, metrics, and targeted follow-up training for at-risk populations
Tailor awareness content for diverse audiences - from clinical staff to executive leadership - with a voice that educates rather than shames
