## Description

The Director, Brex Integration Advisory & Oversight will serve as the primary second-line Technical Risk Advisor and Oversight Lead for the Brex integration. This highly strategic individual contributor role spans all domains of cybersecurity, technology risk, and artificial intelligence governance. In this role, you will lead the independent second-line risk oversight for Brex's entire integration IT footprint, including cloud and application architectures, collaboration tooling, data transfer systems, HR platforms, and AI systems.

You will act as an independent advisor and a rigorous challenger-synthesizing risk assessments conducted by specialized subject matter experts across the division while leveraging your own deep technical acumen to identify gaps in first-line assessment methodologies, surface hidden risks, and challenge missing mitigations. Additionally, you will define and catalog repeatable second-line security governance standards and architectural integration review patterns to serve as the "golden" oversight blueprint for all future corporate acquisitions.

A primary deliverable of this transformational role is the design and deployment of dynamic risk-tracking methodologies. These frameworks will independently measure, aggregate, and report on the state of residual risk and overall security posture at any given point in time (at minimum quarterly) to the second-line Chief Technology Risk Officer and Chief Risk Officer.

What You'll Do

 * Holistic Second-Line Oversight: Lead independent risk reviews of first-line technical integration plans, orchestrating comprehensive security and risk assessments across Brex's cloud environment, application architecture, SaaS platforms, HR systems, collaboration tooling, and AI technologies.
 * Rigorous Independent Challenge: Deeply analyze first-line assessment methodologies; identify operational gaps, uncover latent vulnerabilities, and constructively challenge missing risks or insufficient technical mitigations.
 * M&A Pattern Definition: Establish high-level second-line security governance standards for corporate integrations, and catalog approved architectural integration patterns to serve as a repeatable reference playbook for future acquisitions.
 * Transformational Risk Reporting: Design, deploy, and execute an independent, dynamic residual risk-tracking methodology to provide real-time and quarterly security posture updates to the Chief Technology Risk Officer and the Chief Risk Officer (non-technical executive).
 * Enterprise Risk Alignment: Ensure interim risk-tracking methodologies align with the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework and successfully mature to onboard into destination-state Systems of Record (SoR) as integration approaches convergence.
 * High-Velocity Technical Advisory: Translate legacy technology, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence requirements into flexible, developer-friendly guardrails optimized for a high-velocity, AI-native fintech environment, ensuring second-line risk standards are met.
 * MVP & Product Influence: Collaborate with engineering and product teams from the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage onward, offering compelling, independent risk advice that balances technical security with business value and release speed.
 * Executive-Level Risk Communication: Distill complex, multi-domain technical risks into clear, high-impact risk positions tailored for executive-level, non-technical audiences.

What We Are Looking For

 * Second-Line Advisory & Oversight Mindset: You possess broad-spectrum expertise across cloud security, corporate IT systems, application architecture, and AI governance, with the poise to represent the independent second-line risk division to senior executive stakeholders.
 * SME Orchestration & Technical Depth: You can direct and coordinate the work of specialized technical risk teams while maintaining the deep technical capability to perform hands-on validation and spot methodological gaps.
 * M&A Security Architecture Review: You have experience defining repeatable security integration patterns, second-line governance structures, and playbooks that accelerate safe corporate integrations.
 * Executive Presence: You exhibit the emotional intelligence, executive presence, and communication skills necessary to deliver clear, data-driven risk insights to non-technical C-suite executives.
 * Strategic Risk Modeling: You have a proven track record of designing transformational risk-reporting frameworks that track residual risks dynamically throughout a complex integration lifecycle.
 * Developer Experience (DevEx) Empathy: You understand how rapid AI development and engineering velocity affect risk posture, and you can collaborate with product teams to enable safe, fast delivery.
