Deloitte Global is the engine of the Deloitte network. Our professionals reach across disciplines and borders to develop and lead global initiatives. We deliver strategic programs and services that unite our organization.
What will your typical day look like?
Lead Deloitte’s Global Cybersecurity Policies & Standards Program and the Global Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) Program. You will own the development, maintenance, and enterprise roll‑out of an authoritative suite of global cybersecurity policies and standards that map to key GRC and technology processes (SSDLC Optimization, Internal Automated Compliance Assessment, VCRA, ISO 27001).
You will also run the Global SSDLC program and its transformation to deliver consistent, trusted reviews across Member Firms and to advance secure development practices organization‑wide.
The Senior Manager, Cyber Policy and Standards additionally will:
- Lead and own the end‑to‑end lifecycle (drafting, review, approval, publishing, maintenance) of Deloitte’s Global Cybersecurity policies and standards. Maintain and expand a mature, scalable suite of technical standards and implementation guidance; apply deep subject‑matter expertise to set strategic and technical direction; drive stakeholder alignment and governance; ensure practical adoption across teams and vendors; and continuously evolve standards to address emerging risks and architectures.
- Lead and refine Deloitte’s Global SSDLC program requirements for Deloitte firm SSDLC teams. Ensure consistent, risk‑based application reviews across technology assets; redesign processes and tooling; leverage automation to accelerate security review cycle times without reducing rigor; enable scalable, repeatable review pipelines; and provide implementation guidance and escalation support as required.
- Lead and develop a team of specialists; set strategic direction and priorities; align resources and vendors to business objectives; establish governance and SLAs; track program performance and delivery; and drive continuous improvement to ensure outcomes are met.
- Ensure standards are authoritative, actionable, and mapped to frameworks and controls (e.g., ISO 27001, Internal compliance (MFS12), and Vendor Cyber Risk Assessments).
- Integrate cybersecurity policies and SSDLC requirements into downstream GRC initiatives and programs. Provide SME support for control implementation and evidence collection required for industry certifications. Maintain technical documentation and comprehensive audit trails to ensure compliance, traceability, and audit readiness.
- Engage and influence senior stakeholders (Deloitte Firm CISOs and CTOs) to build strong relationships, reconcile multiple perspectives, and drive initiatives to consensus through clear, compelling communication and strategic framing.
- Build and sustain trusted, visible relationships with Deloitte cybersecurity and technology teams, service owners/leaders, and Deloitte Firm CISOs and CTOs; act as the go‑to SME for Cybersecurity Policies and Standards and SSDLC programs, balancing regulatory requirements with business priorities.
- Drive alignment and adoption of Cybersecurity Policies, Standards, and SSDLC requirements across matrixed Deloitte firm teams through effective communication and timely stakeholder engagement.
- Proactively identify and implement scalable, technology‑enabled approaches—including AI‑driven automation and orchestration—to deliver standards faster, improve discoverability, enable near‑real‑time updates, and automate compliance checks.
- Implement scalable, technology‑enabled solutions to accelerate delivery, improve discoverability, enable near‑real‑time updates, and enable automated compliance checks.
