About the Position

We are looking for a leader to take on the role of Manager of Information Security, GRC. Your mission will be to define the area's vision, structure our practices, and lead the transformation: shifting the perception that GRC is merely an operational and bureaucratic function to making it a dynamic, strategic enabler focused on real business risk.

This is not a position for managing spreadsheets. As the GRC leader within the Cybersecurity structure, you will work side-by-side with the CISO and others leadership to safely enable critical projects. We seek someone with technical capability, execution skills, and strategic vision, able to drive projects end-to-end and ensure that security governance makes our business faster, more scalable, and resilient.

You must have proven experience in GRC leadership that goes beyond regulatory compliance and paper-based frameworks, understanding control architectures and the technological nuances of an agile, cloud-native environment (Cloud, AI, Data). You will be primarily responsible for accountability regarding cyber risk, guiding the company through complex scenarios.

The Manager of GRC will report directly to the CISO and will be responsible for managing the investment, the internal team, and the third-party (3P) partners supporting the GRC operation.

Main Responsibilities

• GRC Leadership & Strategy: Develop and lead the GRC strategy, building and executing roadmap in full alignment with the company's business objectives, budget, and risk appetite.

• Information Security Governance & Artificial Intelligence: Lead the Information Security Governance model. Take the lead in AI governance, establishing guidelines, controls, and policies to ensure the safe, ethical, and compliant use of new technologies across the company.
• IAM Governance: Lead IAM Governance projects, ensuring identity and access management controls and processes are aligned with the company's risk and SOX compliance requirements.
• People Management & Development (EM): Lead, inspire, and develop a high-performance team of GRC specialists, promoting engagement, autonomy, and technical excellence.
• Operationalized Risk Management: Lead the end-to-end cyber risk management program (identification, treatment, monitoring, and remediation plans), with strong ability to financially quantify cyber risk using methodologies such as FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk).
• Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) & Cyber Resilience: Lead third-party risk management and cyber resilience programs, ensuring the extended supply chain and critical vendors meet the company's security and compliance standards.
• Continuous Compliance: Ensure compliance with regulations (e.g., LGPD, SOx, GDPR) and frameworks, acting as the company's voice to respond to and negotiate with internal and external audits and regulatory bodies, implementing a Continuous Compliance model.
• Committees & Metrics (KPIs/KRIs): Act as a member of the Information Security Committee, defining and reporting strategic, tactical, and operational indicators, risk metrics, and maturity evolution to executive leadership and supporting the preparation of materials for these forums.
• Culture & Awareness: Lead the corporate security awareness strategy, transforming the human factor into the first line of defense through engaging programs and metrics that prove a reduction in behavioral risk.
• Policies (ISP): Structure, simplify, review, and maintain the framework of policies, standards, procedures, and processes related to Information Security.
• Partnership & Focal Point: Act as the primary focal point and business partner for GRC topics with Technology, Engineering, Product, Legal, Privacy, Finance, Compliance, Internal Audit, and business leaders. Identify opportunities to build practical, structural processes that mitigate risks.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in Information Security GRC, with at least 5 years in leadership and team management roles within complex, dynamic, and multinational corporate environments (preferably tech companies, scale-ups, or the financial sector).
