Senior Information Security GRC Analyst

ABOUT US

We're the world's leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value - across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we're proud to support the global economy.

We're unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value - a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We're always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200 countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.

Are you passionate about security Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where your experience and your security expertise can shape the future of our organization?

We are looking for a GRC Specialist like you to join our growing Information Security Governance team. In this role, you will:

• Develop and implement robust GRC frameworks to ensure compliance with increasingly stringent industry regulations and standards.

You have excellent inter-personal skills and can manage relationships effectively. You are able to see win-win outcomes and drive discussions toward such outcomes.

While you will follow a standardized approach, you will innovate and change processes as needed. You will spot areas of improvement and work towards making meaningful changes. You will ensure that SWIFT tackles the most urgent and highest priorities, using data and your analytical skills.

You will work on leading edge practices and technologies (agile teams, data analytics, container, cloud) supporting a worldwide critical infrastructure, highly secure and advanced financial organization.
