Field CISO, Head of Client Security Assurance

About this role

At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you’re passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.

We are seeking a Field CISO - Senior Cyber Security Leader to serve as the external face of our security program to our most strategic and demanding clients. This individual will engage directly with CISOs, Chief Risk Officers, third-party risk teams, and procurement leaders at large financial institutions to articulate our security posture, governance model, control environment, and compliance strategy.

This is a commercial, consultative, and relationship-driven role. You will not own or operate internal security controls. Instead, you will translate our security program into client confidence, helping our Sales and Account Management teams win and retain business by demonstrating that our security capabilities meet the rigorous expectations of the world's largest financial services firms.

You will serve as a trusted advisor both externally (to clients) and internally (to Sales, Product, Legal, and Security leadership), ensuring that our security narrative is accurate, compelling, and aligned with market expectations.

Key Responsibilities Serve as the primary senior security representative in executive-level client engagements, including CISO-to-CISO discussions, board-level briefings, and strategic account reviews.

Lead client-facing discussions on our security governance framework, risk management approach, regulatory compliance posture (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, DORA, GDPR, etc.), and control environment.

Support the sales cycle by participating in finalist presentations, security deep-dives, and due diligence escalations for strategic and enterprise deals.

Partner with Account Management to maintain and strengthen security trust with existing clients, particularly during renewals, expansions, and regulatory-driven reassessments.

Provide strategic input to internal Security, Product, and Compliance teams on client expectations, emerging regulatory trends, and competitive positioning related to security.

Act as an escalation point for complex or sensitive client security concerns that cannot be resolved at the working level.

Represent the company at industry events, client advisory boards, and financial services security forums.

Collaborate with Marketing and Sales Enablement to develop thought leadership content, security whitepapers, and client-facing collateral.

Advise internal stakeholders on how to position security investments and roadmap items in the context of client demand and market differentiation.
