說明
We are seeking an exceptionally qualified, technical, and data-driven Director of Cybersecurity Audit & Continuous Assurance (Technical Program Management) to join our IT Internal Audit leadership team in Seoul, South Korea. Reporting directly to the Head of IT Audit, this role will serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for enterprise cybersecurity risks and technical audit execution across our high-scale, cloud-native e-commerce platforms.
In an era of hyper-scale e-commerce, traditional periodic auditing alone is insufficient. This leader will lead the execution of our global cybersecurity audit strategy while architecting and scaling an advanced Continuous Cybersecurity Control Monitoring (CCCM) and Automated Assurance Validation framework. By blending deep technical cybersecurity domain expertise with data engineering and analytics capabilities, this role will collaborate with relevant teams to develop methods to enhance identification, measurements, and mitigation of cyber risks across complex, microservice-based engineered systems.

-
Establish standardized technical audit methodologies, script repositories, automated testing SOPs, and analytics frameworks for the broader IT Audit function.
Basic Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a quantitative data field, combined with 12+ years of progressive experience in cybersecurity engineering, cyber risk, or technical cybersecurity auditing within large-scale or publicly traded technology/e-commerce organizations.
-
Strong hands-on knowledge of cloud security architectures (AWS/Azure), distributed systems, modern API security, microservices, and containerized deployments (Kubernetes/Docker).
-
Deep technical mastery of recognized security frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001/27002, CIS Benchmarks, NIST 800-53, ISMS/K-ISMS-P).
-
Based in (or willing to relocate as an expatriate to) Seoul, South Korea.

-
Familiarity leveraging AI/ML tooling or intelligent automation for anomaly detection, evidence extraction, and risk profiling.
