The Role

The Schonfeld Cybersecurity Operations team is seeking a Governance Risk & Compliance Analyst. As the senior-most GRC analyst, you will shape Schonfeld’s GRC strategy while directly managing key policy, risk, and compliance initiatives. You will engage with executives, compliance, regulators, technologists and the cyber team to ensure Schonfeld’s cyber risk posture is robust and audit-ready.

This is a high-impact opportunity to “do” and “lead” across all aspects of the GRC program.

Coordinate the review and management of findings, driving timely remediation and closure. Prepare and communicate risk metrics and dashboards for management level audiences.
• Vendor & Third-Party Risk- Oversee cyber vendor risk evaluations and due diligence, including critical vendor reviews and ongoing monitoring. Collaborate with internal teams and vendors to enhance vendor risk workflows and reporting.
• Compliance Audit & Regulatory support - Serve as the point of contact for internal/external audits and regulatory requests (e.g., SEC, NFA, MAS). Prepare documentation, manage findings, and liaise directly with auditors and examiners.
• Security Awareness & Training - Design, deliver, and measure cybersecurity awareness programs, including general and focused training initiatives. Lead cyber communications and campaigns to drive a culture of risk awareness.
• Cyber Insurance & Due Diligence - Coordinate the annual cyber insurance renewal and related surveys/documentation. Lead cyber due diligence preparation for clients, investors, and regulators.
• Business Continuity
• Metrics & Continuous Improvement - Develop and maintain cyber program metrics and reporting for leadership and executive consumption. Identify and drive process automation opportunities to streamline GRC operations.

What you’ll bring

• 7-10+ years of experience in cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead role.
• Knowledge of cyber and privacy regulations and best practices
• Proven expertise in policy management, risk assessment, vendor risk, and audit/regulatory response.
• Strong background in cyber insurance, due diligence preparation, and security awareness programs.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining risk registers, metrics, and dashboards.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with executives, regulators, and cross-functional teams.
• Relevant certifications strongly desired: CISM, CRISC, CISSP, CISA, or similar.
• A collaborative, proactive, and detail-oriented approach, with the ability to balance execution and strategic thinking.

We’d love it if you had:

• Financial services experience
• Experience configuring and managing GRC platforms
• Process design, automation & scripting (Python, PowerShell, or similar a plus)
• Knowledge of business continuity management, tabletop exercises or disaster recovery testing.
