## Description

For years, the cybersecurity community has debated whether the CISO should report to the CIO or not. In regulated financial services, the answer is: both. The first-line CISO has operational responsibilities and reports to the CIO. The second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Tech & Data Risk Management (TDRM) organization have broader responsibilities for cybersecurity but also reliability, software quality, resilience, and the risk of failing to manage our data. The CTRO is independent and oversees the work of the CISO, the CIO/CTO, and the Chief Data Officer. The CTRO reports to the Chief Risk Officer, who reports directly to the CEO.

Our business leaders must constantly make technology decisions. TDRM makes sure they have the tech and data risk information they need to make good decisions. Associates within TDRM are highly-skilled information security, cybersecurity, site reliability engineering, technology, data analyst, data scientist, and risk management professionals. They have a wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to add value with their advice and to deliver high-impact results.

As a Director in Capital One's Enterprise Data Risk Management you will apply your risk management and data expertise to the company's Risk organization (as a part of our 2nd line of defense function). You will partner across the enterprise to develop and support best-in-class industry data risk identification and mitigation solutions in a manner that supports innovation while appropriately managing our data. You will provide data risk advisory services to numerous lines of business, while communicating the current state and future direction of data management risk maturity. Your contributions will drive organizational change through effective and proactive risk identification, measurement, analysis and reporting in order to better manage the company's risk in an open and collaborative environment.

This individual contributor, yet highly collaborative role, will work with various stakeholders to deliver value-added risk management services to our data and business partners. You will have a high level of exposure across lines of business and have the opportunity to work with senior Data and Business executives to create and implement innovative solutions to identify and mitigate potential risks to the company.
