Second, you will identify and assess regulatory requirements, advise on how best to implement measures to meet regulatory requirements in the FS industry, and overall to help improve our processes in supporting FS customers. If you identify any FS security and compliance patterns, threats and opportunities, you will provide feedback to internal stakeholders to build security and compliance into SAP solutions and processes.

Third, you will develop and maintain a solid knowledge base in regional security and compliance topics, including financial services industry-specific compliance obligations (e.g. EU DORA), to support customer queries and contract negotiations.

Fourth, you will support the security and compliance governance efforts for the region, including reporting on customer commitments made, on status of identified KPIs; and (where appropriate) highlighting risks to senior management.

Where you belong

This senior role is integral to our team, and we look forward to welcoming a dedicated professional who will support us in building up the Financial Services Practice Group within CISA.

We are a team of highly motivated security and compliance professionals that thrive on delivering positive outcomes for SAP. We are uniquely positioned at the crossroads of multiple domains, including customer communications, contract negotiations and security compliance.
