The Global Security & Compliance Manager is responsible for driving key cyber security governance activities across the organization, with a clear three-fold focus: Compliance, Awareness, and Vulnerability Management. This is a global role based in India (Bengaluru), requiring a strong mix of technical understanding, pragmatism, and the ability to deliver practical outcomes in a complex environment.
Compliance: The role supports regulatory and audit-driven requirements (e.g., GDPR, NIS2, SAP security audits, SWIFT compliance) and ensures these obligations are translated into practical controls, evidence, and sustainable processes. The manager partners closely with IT, Legal, Privacy, business owners, and internal & external auditors to strengthen audit readiness, manage findings, and continuously improve compliance maturity.
Security Awareness: The role owns the global security awareness program, including phishing simulations and training campaigns via KnowBe4, driving measurable improvements in employee behavior, engagement, and completion rates across the business.
Vulnerability Management: The role leads and coordinates the global vulnerability management process, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified, prioritized, tracked, and remediated through consistent governance, reporting, and escalation (in close collaboration with infrastructure and application owners).
This is a people manager role, with the manager and team based in India. The manager will have one dedicated Cyber Compliance Analyst as a direct report and will also provide people management oversight to a team of three SOC Cyber Analysts in a matrix setup. Functional (day-to-day) management of the SOC analysts is led by the Global IT Security Manager (Belgium based), while this role focuses on coaching, development, performance inputs, and ensuring alignment to the overall Cyber security priorities where relevant.

Authority
The Global Security & Compliance Manager has the authority to define and maintain security compliance processes and supporting governance documentation, coordinate audit activities across control owners, and drive follow-up on compliance gaps and remediation actions. The role is empowered to establish reporting and escalation mechanisms for overdue compliance actions and critical vulnerabilities, and to recommend improvements to controls and processes to senior management when needed. The role also has people-management accountability for the Cyber Compliance Analyst and matrix people-leadership responsibility for SOC analysts (in alignment with the Global IT Security Manager’s functional leadership).
Key performance indicators
- Audits completed on time & % of audit findings closed on time (and reduction of repeat findings)
- Vulnerability remediation performance vs agreed SLAs (e.g., critical/high)
- Security awareness effectiveness (training completion rate, phishing simulation click/report rates)
- Team performance and engagement outcomes (delivery vs priorities, development progress, retention/feedback)
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Lead the global Security & Compliance agenda, ensuring regulatory and audit-driven requirements are translated into practical controls, processes, and measurable outcomes.
- Support and coordinate global regulatory compliance initiatives (e.g., GDPR, NIS2, SAP security audits, SWIFT compliance), including control design, documentation, and evidence management.
- Act as a key contributor to audit readiness and execution: prepare evidence packs, coordinate control owners, support walkthroughs, track findings, and drive remediation closure.
- Own and continuously improve the global security awareness program (KnowBe4), including phishing simulations, training campaigns, reporting, and stakeholder engagement.
- Lead and coordinate the vulnerability management process: governance, prioritization approach, remediation tracking, reporting cadence, and escalation of overdue/high-risk vulnerabilities (in partnership with IT/OT/infra/application owners).
- Provide people leadership to the Cyber Compliance Analyst, including goal setting, coaching, performance management, and development planning.
- In a matrix setup, provide people management oversight for the SOC analysts (coaching, development, performance inputs, engagement), while aligning closely with the Global IT and OT Security Managers who leads functional execution and daily prioritization.
- Develop and maintain core security governance artifacts (policies, standards, procedures, control narratives, exception handling) aligned to operational realities and regulatory expectations.
- Define and maintain compliance-relevant security metrics and reporting, providing clear visibility to leadership on compliance posture, audit findings, vulnerability trends, and awareness effectiveness.
- Support baseline IAM-related security controls as needed for compliance (e.g., SSO/MFA principles, access control expectations), ensuring controls are consistently applied and auditable.
- Serve as a global point of contact and subject matter contributor for security compliance topics — advising stakeholders, sharing best practices, and driving continuous improvement.
Basic requirements (Education, Level of Experience, Language)
- Bachelor's or master’s degree in engineering (Information Technology/ Computer Science), or a related field.
