Description:

It's more than protecting systems and data.

It's protecting people.

Our Information Security Managers know that security is a top priority for our business and our partners and customers. Today, as cyber-attacks increase and compliance is more rigorously enforced, we look to them to stay ahead of what's next and to protect our business and our future. So if you are dedicated to the latest technology and motivating others, secure your career here.

You won't just see the problem coming, you'll see the solution.

New threats to our business, our partners and customers appear on the horizon every day, so no two days are the same. But there are some things you can count on doing:

• Providing guidance on information security processes, controls, and compliance, and information security risk management to team members
• Encouraging employee contribution, such as feedback, career development planning, and goal setting.
• Developing plans and strategies for information security tools, processes, and programs
• Responding to changes in the regulatory environment and assisting other organizations in doing the same.
• Making strategic recommendations to enhance information security, including processes, procedures, governance approaches, and compliance.

As part of our diverse tech team, you can architect, code and ship software that makes us an essential part of our customers' digital lives. Here, you can work alongside talented engineers in an open, supportive, inclusive environment where your voice is valued, and you make your own decisions on what tech to use to solve challenging problems. Amex offers a range of opportunities to work with the latest technologies and encourages you to back the broader engineering community through open source. And because we understand the importance of keeping your skills fresh and relevant, we give you dedicated time to invest in your professional development. Find your place in technology on #TeamAmex.
