Assist in scheduling project ceremonies and security working sessions; prepare agendas; document decisions, risks, and action items; and maintain project artifacts in Confluence/SharePoint.
Help develop and implement improved security PM workflows, dashboards, and metrics (e.g., vulnerability MTTR, patch compliance, control maturity).
Support evidence collection and coordination for audits and assessments (e.g., SOC 2, SOX ITGCs, ISO 27001, PCI) and track remediation through closure.
Assist with third-party/vendor security reviews by tracking questionnaires, risk ratings, and mitigation plans.
Support incident response readiness by coordinating tabletop exercises, maintaining runbooks, and logging follow-up actions.
Assist the InfoSec PMO by supporting ad hoc requests, reporting, and special initiatives.
Education and Experience:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
Junior or Senior standing; expected graduation in 2027–2028 preferred.
Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to handle multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously.
Familiarity with project management tools; experience with Jira is a plus.
Excellent written and verbal communication for engaging with stakeholders at all levels.
Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify and escalate potential risks and blockers.
