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.

• Proficiency in global security compliance and/or financial services regulatory requirements such as EU DORA, EBA Guideline or similar;

• Deep knowledge of cybersecurity principles, concepts, standards and best practices, in particular relating to SAP Cloud Services;

• Experience in supporting and advising on the implementation of security compliance measures and requirements;

• Self-starter, motivated, organized, attention to details, demonstrated ability to deliver positive outcomes under pressure, results-oriented;

• 3-5 years experience in a sales support role, preferably in the areas of security compliance, customer success, or legal roles, ideally situated within the financial services sector;

• Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in Computer Science, Information Security, Law or related discipline preferred; industry certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CCSP, CISM, IAPP CIPPE/CIPT are a plus.

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. CISA sits within the SGSC Customer Office, which is the broader team that “faces” SAP customers and customer-facing teams. 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.

If you are a self-starter keen on making a real difference and have the relevant experience and skills, then this is the position for you!
