The Sr. Cybersecurity Risk Assessor (Risk Manager) is responsible for leading, maturing, and overseeing Blue Yonder’s enterprise cybersecurity risk management program.

Risk Treatment & Mitigation

  • Develop and drive risk‑response plans, collaborating with system owners, product teams, engineering, and cloud operations.
  • Validate mitigation effectiveness and track remediations through closure.
  • Provide expert recommendations on security controls, configuration standards, and compensating controls.

Risk Monitoring & Governance

  • Build KPIs, KRIs, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to measure risk posture and program performance.
  • Present risk trends, escalations, and mitigation progress to senior leadership.
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies such as Cybersecurity Policy, Access Control Policy, Acceptable Use, and Information Classification Standards.

Cross‑Functional Leadership

  • Partner with Threat & Vulnerability Management, Application Security, Security Architecture, and GRC teams to ensure unified risk strategy and visibility.
  • Collaborate with Legal, Compliance, and Commercial teams on contract risk requirements and customer security obligations.

Security Culture & Awareness

  • Promote a risk‑aware culture by educating stakeholders on risk principles, threat landscapes, and security responsibilities.
  • Contribute to ongoing training and awareness initiatives aligned with Blue Yonder’s enterprise security program.

What We’re Looking For:

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years in cybersecurity risk management, governance, or security engineering in a complex enterprise (cloud and on‑prem environment).
  • Deep familiarity with NIST CSF, NIST RMF, ISO 27001/27701, SOC 2, and related frameworks.
  • Experience performing and maturing risk assessments across technology stacks and business processes.
  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS environments, and modern enterprise architectures.
  • Ability to translate technical risks into business‑level insights for executive stakeholders.
