Full Job Posting
Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in cybersecurity, information technology, risk management, or a related field with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
- Strong relationship-building, communication, and executive presentation skills.
- Ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities while adapting to changing business needs.
- Experience translating complex technical issues into practical business recommendations.
- Working knowledge of cloud security, application security, identity and access management, enterprise risk management, AI technologies, AI governance principles, and modern software delivery practices.
- Familiarity with security frameworks such as NIST, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar.
- Restaurant, retail, digital commerce, or customer-facing technology experience is preferred.
- What We're Looking For
- The ideal BISO is a business partner first and security expert second—curious, collaborative, pragmatic, and focused on understanding business objectives before recommending solutions.
- We are looking for someone who believes cybersecurity exists to enable the business—not slow it down. Rather than defaulting to enforcement, they help leaders understand risk, present practical options, explain tradeoffs, and support informed business decisions.
- Successful candidates build trust through sound judgment, flexibility, and strong relationships.
- Education & Certifications
- Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- CISSP, CISM, CISA, or similar certifications are preferred but not required.
- Salary Range: $151,600 to $178,400 annually + bonus eligibility. This is the expected salary range for this position. Ultimately, in determining pay, we'll consider the successful candidate’s location, experience, and other job-related factors.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the trusted cybersecurity advisor to assigned business and technology leaders.
- Build strong relationships and maintain a deep understanding of business priorities, technology roadmaps, and strategic initiatives.
- Translate cybersecurity risks and technical concepts into clear business guidance for executives and stakeholders.
- Partner with business teams to identify, prioritize, and reduce cyber risk while balancing business value, customer experience, cost, and delivery speed.
- Coordinate cross-functional collaboration involving cybersecurity and non-technical teams to deliver a business experience consistent with the Global Business Information Security Office.
- Enable responsible AI adoption by coordinating AI governance and security guidance with the appropriate cybersecurity teams.
- Embed cybersecurity into projects, products, and strategic initiatives early and throughout the lifecycle.
- Lead governance activities by tracking business risks, audits, security initiatives, executive reporting, policy exceptions, incident response, and resilience exercises.
- Foster a positive security culture by building trust, promoting collaboration, and helping teams make risk-informed decisions.
- Support franchisee and third-party facing security initiatives
