• Evaluate things like:
  • System access, change management, and IT operations

  • Core insurance processes (claims, underwriting, finance)
• Turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations
• Track issues through resolution—not just report and walk away

• Ability to spot risk and explain it clearly
• Strong analytical skills—you can connect dots others miss
• Comfort working independently and owning your work

• Exposure to cybersecurity standards (NIST, NYDFS, etc.)
• Familiarity with Microsoft tools or AI governance concepts
• Bachelor's degree

The successful candidate is expected to work in one of our offices 3 days per week and also be available for travel as required.
