Overview
The Control Testing Lead will be responsible for leading a team that plans, executes, documents, and reports results for technology control testing across cloud and on-premises environments. This role will manage direct reports, establish testing priorities, oversee quality of execution, and drive consistent control testing practices across technical domains.
The role requires strong knowledge of cybersecurity, cloud security architecture, cloud-native security controls, infrastructure control design, software development lifecycle practices, and risk-based assurance methodologies. The successful candidate must possess demonstrable technical knowledge of major cloud platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and be capable of independently assessing cloud security architectures, validating technical control implementation, and evaluating the effectiveness of cloud-native security controls.
This position will serve as a team leader within a broader Cybersecurity GRC control assurance operating model, accountable for directing testing activities, developing team capability, influencing control quality, and providing insight to engineering, security architecture, application, infrastructure, audit, risk, and compliance stakeholders.
The role will work extensively with Cybersecurity GRC to align testing priorities, evidence standards, issue rationale, reporting expectations, and remediation themes while helping ensure that controls are appropriately designed, operating effectively, supported by reliable evidence, and aligned to regulatory, internal policy, and industry framework requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage a team responsible for control testing activities across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, with emphasis on cloud services, infrastructure, identity, access, configuration, logging, monitoring, vulnerability management, and change management controls.
Set testing strategy, define annual and quarterly priorities, oversee risk-based test plans, and ensure test scripts, walkthrough procedures, evidence requests, sampling approaches, and testing documentation are consistent and defensible.
Manage direct reports by setting goals, assigning work, reviewing deliverables, providing coaching, supporting career development, and maintaining accountability for quality, timeliness, and risk-based judgment.
Assess control design and operating effectiveness by reviewing system configurations, cloud service configurations, architecture diagrams, infrastructure-as-code deployments, policies, procedures, tickets, logs, screenshots, cloud security reports, and other supporting evidence.
Drive continuous and automated control monitoring and assurance capabilities to reduce manual, point-in-time validation.
Evaluate technical controls across cloud platforms, including identity and access management, network segmentation, encryption, key management, logging, monitoring, workload protection,…
