Meta is seeking a highly skilled Security GRC Program Lead to join our Risk Organization's Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) pillar. This role is pivotal in providing second-line oversight of Meta's security risk management and compliance across multiple business units, regulatory entities, and governance forums.

This position offers the opportunity to shape Meta's security risk posture, collaborate with leaders across Security, Product, Engineering, and Legal, and deliver meaningful impact on Meta's ability to meet global regulatory requirements and business objectives. You will operate with significant autonomy, regularly leading cross-functional initiatives and driving company-wide impact through thought leadership and strategic execution.

• Integrate security risk management with Meta's Security Prioritization Framework (SPF) and contribute to capability maturity assessments to drive risk-based prioritization across the organization.
• Define and maintain clear interfaces and points of contact with the Security organization and other key partners, ensuring efficient governance and communication.
• Prepare regular updates and compliance documents to ensure Meta meets board and regulatory obligations, adapting processes and strategies to evolving regulatory and business environments.
• Drive cross-org execution, collaborating with Risk, Security, Legal, Product, and Engineering functions to deliver results and maximize impact.
• Champion organizational efforts to build and sustain diversity, culture, recruitment, onboarding, mentoring, and development programs, serving as a role model and mentor for others.
• Integrate learnings and best practices from/to sister 2LoD organizations (e.g., Integrity GRC, Privacy GRC), and partner with Product & Engineering teams on necessary second-line-of-defense tooling within the unified GRC framework.

• Proven ability to identify critical issues, balance competing priorities, translate technical and regulatory concepts for diverse audiences, and personally drive initiatives to completion

• Demonstrated ability to build strong formal and informal networks with key influencers and decision makers inside and outside the company
• Experience working in integrated privacy-security environments or familiarity with unified GRC frameworks across multiple risk domains

Preferred Qualifications:
