- Facilitate project meetings, design walkthroughs, and risk & control reviews
- Provide weekly and bi-weekly project status updates highlighting risks, control gaps, and remediation progress
- Partner with Portfolio Managers on resource and capacity forecasting
- Ensure compliance with PMO standards, documentation requirements, gate reviews, and change control
- Coordinate with IT Risk Management (ITRM), Audit, Compliance, and Architecture teams
- Track and maintain governance artifacts, remediation evidence, and validation documentation
- Support rollout planning, implementation coordination, and post-implementation lessons learned
Must-Have Qualifications

- Control remediation
- Vulnerability management
- IAM governance
- Regulatory / audit-driven initiatives
- Proven project management experience across the full lifecycle

If you’re a Project Manager with a strong background in cybersecurity and technology risk delivery, we’d love to connect, please apply.
