Muscat, Muscat, Oman Canonical Full time

In security risk management, we're looking to harness the power of industry best practice combined with driving new innovation on how we do security risk assessments and modelling. Our security risk management team is the primary owner of the strategy and practices of how we identify, track and reduce our security risk across everything we do.

To support this, we need to use industry best practices paired with emerging threat information to promote risk identification, quantification, impact analysis, and modelling to ultimately drive decision making. In this role, you will help establish and execute a broad strategic vision for the security risk program at Canonical. You will not only work within the team but also cross-functionally with various teams across the organisation. The team contributes ideas and requirements for Canonical product security, improving the resilience and robustness of all Ubuntu customers and users subject to cyber attacks. Additionally, the team collaborates with our Organisational Learning and Development team to develop playbooks and facilitate security training across Canonical.

The security risk management team's mission is not only to secure Canonical, but also to contribute to the security of the wider open source ecosystem. They might share knowledge through public presentations and industry events, and share threat intelligence with the wider community or represent Canonical in sector-specific governance bodies.

What you will do in this role:

  1. Define Canonical's security risk management standards and playbooks
  2. Analyse and improve Canonical's security risk practices
  3. Evaluate, select and implement new security requirements, tools and practices
  4. Grow the presence and thought leadership of Canonical security risk management practice
  5. Develop Canonical security risk learning and development materials
  6. Work with Security leadership to present information and influence change
  7. Participate in developing key risk indicators, provide inputs to the development of key control indicators, and key performance indicators for various programs
  8. Apply statistical models to risk frameworks (such as FAIR, sensitivity analysis, and others)
  9. Participate in risk management, decision-making, and collaborative discussions
  10. Lead quantified risk assessments and understand the value of qualitative data for improvements to quality and engineering processes
  11. Interpret internal or external cyber security risk analyses in business terms and recommend a responsible course of action
  12. Develop templates and materials to help with self-service risk management actions
  13. Monitor and identify opportunities to improve the effectiveness of risk management processes
  14. Launch campaigns to perform security assessments and help mitigate security risks across the company
  15. Build evaluation methods and performance indicators to measure efficiency of security functions and capabilities.

What we are looking for:

  1. An exceptional academic track record
  2. Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
  3. Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations
  4. Deep personal motivation to be at the forefront of technology security
  5. Leadership and management ability
  6. Excellent business English writing and presentation skills
  7. Problem-solver with excellent communication skills, a deep technical understanding of security assessments and risk management
  8. Expertise in threat modelling and risk management frameworks
  9. Broad knowledge of how to operationalize the management of security risk
  10. Experience in Secure Development Lifecycle and Security by Design methodology.

What we offer you:

  1. Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  2. Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  3. Annual compensation review
  4. Recognition rewards
  5. Annual holiday leave
  6. Maternity and paternity leave
  7. Employee Assistance Programme
  8. Opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues
  9. Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long haul company events.
