**Who we are**
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton. Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store. What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

**As an Information Security Specialist your responsibilities will include**:

- Educate and communicate security requirements, policies, standards and procedures to:

- Business/internal stakeholders as it relates to projects and strategic initiatives
- Lead on Staff Security Awareness program and co-ordinate with Learning & Development
- Lead on quarterly privileged access reviews and remediation workplan
- Perform internal security audits and recommend peer teams on remediation steps
- Coordinate the annual IT Audit exercise with internal and external auditors
- Conduct security reviews of planned initiatives across the organization and produces high quality Threat Risk Assessment reports clearly articulating risks
- Provide recommendations to development and operational team to address security weaknesses and identify potential new security solutions
- Assist with other cyber security related tasks

**Be Grant Thornton**
If you're a bit like us, you're driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts "we before me", where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Grant Thornton, you'll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that's when the magic happens

**Think you've got what it takes to be an Information Security Specialist? Like the colour purple? Great. Here's a few more boxes we're also hoping you can tick**:

- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, business and/or other related major
- 5+ years of information security consulting and advisory experience
- Experience with ERM/GRC tools, threat assessments and security testing methodologies
- Working knowledge of security standards including ISO 27001 and NIST
- Must have CISSP with CISA, CRISC, GIAC or similar certification considered an asset
- Excellent initiative, analytical, and critical thinking skills
- Demonstrable understanding of how to network and develop working relationships with various key stakeholders
- Strong business and technical acumen
- Direct experience with developing security metrics, KRIs and KPIs for leadership
- Synthesize information into succinct, concise, and logical summaries and reports
- Ability to work with teams to achieve goals and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Work well under pressure with time constraints and can prioritize competing priorities appropriately
- Must have hands-on knowledge of Microsoft M365 services including Exchange Online. Familiarity with Mimecast is preferred
- Must have hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Azure configurations for various products such as Defender, Information Protection etc.
