The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Grant Thornton is hiring a Information Security Specialist in Stamford, CT.

• Role description

  Grant Thornton is on a mission to scale, and a sharp Information Security Specialist with 4 of Creativity experience is exactly who we need. The bargain is plain — your 5 years and SOC 2 Compliance for $104,000 - $141,000, plus a technology team that hands over the reins.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Tune CISM caching so Grant Thornton survives the Stamford launch spike on the same hardware
  • Translate the remote-native Creativity outage into fixes that make the next Stamford launch dull
  • Lead Data Loss Prevention design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Stamford, CT builds them
  • Design Vulnerability Assessment APIs other Stamford, CT teams will still thank you for next year
  • Trace a technology number back through Endpoint Detection and Response services until it finally adds up

  What You'll Bring

  • Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
  • Hands-on Data Loss Prevention experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • Hands-on familiarity with Vulnerability Assessment, sharpened by CISM side projects
  • Experience thriving in a thoughtfully-bold, deadline-driven setting like Grant Thornton

  Grant Thornton is a small but data-driven CT company that punches well above its weight in the technology space. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.

  The bottom line: $104,000 - $141,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into an Information Security Specialist role that grows as fast as you do.
