This is also a build and delivery role. Anovia has a number of technical and operational initiatives that require more structure, planning, coordination, and follow-through. The successful candidate will be comfortable taking an initiative that is not yet well defined, establishing a practical plan, coordinating the people involved, and driving the work through to completion. Examples could include implementing a new security tool, improving security monitoring or vulnerability management, or helping establish a NOC/SOC capability.

- Coordinate third-party and vendor security assessments, including security questionnaires and contract review support.
- Develop, maintain, and support adoption of information security policies, standards, and operating procedures.
- Coordinate security awareness training and phishing simulation programs.
- Support security incident response activities, including detection, containment, investigation, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reporting.
- Support business continuity and disaster recovery activities, including maintenance of recovery requirements, testing, and related evidence.
- Lead or coordinate technical and operational initiatives from initial scope through implementation, establishing plans, identifying dependencies and owners, coordinating stakeholders, tracking risks and issues, and driving work to completion.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for internal and external auditors and coordinate responses with relevant business and technical stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
- 4+ years of progressively responsible experience in information security, IT compliance, GRC, security operations, or a related field.
- Practical experience working with ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, or a comparable security and compliance framework.

- Experience with GRC processes and tools, including risk and control management, evidence collection, compliance tracking, audit preparation, and remediation or corrective-action management.
- Working experience with the Microsoft 365 security environment, including familiarity with Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra ID, and related security and compliance capabilities.
- Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous technical or operational initiative and bring structure to it, including defining scope, developing a practical plan, coordinating stakeholders, managing dependencies and issues, and driving the work through to completion.
