Overview:

One of the biggest banks in the European Union is seeking a Cybersecurity Control Officer to manage projects delivery, assist committees’ preparation and coordination, support alignment with Group on requirement interpretation, challenges and validate the evidence collected by project teams and leads assessment campaigns of the project deliverables.
