• Cybersecurity risk management and exception oversight: Contribute to the development of tools and processes that enhance visibility into cybersecurity integration risks, support exception tracking, and guide remediation planning within GRC platforms. Align risk oversight practices with recognized frameworks.
• Tooling and process optimization: Drive rationalization of cybersecurity tooling across acquired entities to reduce complexity, eliminate shadow IT and align with enterprise standards and requirements.
• Integration tracking, monitoring and reporting: Lead the development of cybersecurity integration roadmaps, including key activities, dependencies and timelines, and manage the execution of cybersecurity activities, as well as exceptions and issues, through complete integration.
• Performance measurement and accountability: Develop scorecards and metrics to assess integration progress, reinforce cybersecurity ownership and promote continuous improvement across FIS.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with the Integration Management Office (IMO), Lines of Business (LoBs), Cybersecurity Operations, and teams from acquired companies to embed governance principles and cybersecurity risk management practices throughout the M&A lifecycle.
• Compliance and framework alignment: Align cybersecurity integration and governance efforts with external frameworks such as NIST CSF, CRI and applicable regulatory mandates.

What you bring:

• Proven experience (7+ years) in cybersecurity governance, risk management and post-acquisition integration across complex enterprise environments
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks and regulatory standards including NIST CSF, CRI, ISO 27001 and GRC platforms
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and collaborate with internal stakeholders and acquired company teams
