Working to the highest standard with a keen attention to detail, you will be able to deliver workable solutions to multiple teams with competing priorities. Able to proactively engage with the business and be bold in your approach, working to make change for the better, improving operational efficiency and reducing the threat to their people, assets and reputation.

Candidates must have the right to work in the USA and be able to work in-person in Washington DC or on the Eastern Seaboard – Miami or New York in particular. Travel will be expected, perhaps up to 30% of the time.

Business fluency in English required, Spanish and Portuguese strongly preferred.
