This role requires expert judgment in enterprise risk methods, the ability to turn a business objective into working risk programs with little direction, and the ability to influence leaders across the company.

- Test the scoring model against past risks and propose changes for ERM leadership to adopt, and turn the ERM Doctrine into methods other analysts use across domains
- Brief executives, shape how teams across the company talk about a risk, and draw out dissent before a decision closes
- Design how risks are taken in, routed, and recorded, write the standards other analysts follow, automate monitoring, and coach senior analysts
- Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, cybersecurity, risk management, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 7 to 10 years of risk experience working in defense, aerospace, technology, or another regulated industry, including building a risk program or method that others adopted

- Experience rating risk against a defined method and explaining results and uncertainty to non specialist leaders
- Ability to start from a business objective, decide the right response, and build it with little direction
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including bottom line first writing for executives
- Working knowledge of U.S. Government contracting and its obligations, such as DFARS, ITAR and EAR, CUI handling, and NIST SP 800-171
