Description
Where It Began…
In 1951 SF Fire Credit Union first opened its doors from a modest 10′ × 15′ office space in 17 Engine. It was from those humble beginnings—where everyone pitched in to help one another in their community—that the organization forged its way of business forever.Today, the San Francisco-based credit union has grown to $1.7B in assets and a membership that extends from the regional firefighters we trace our roots back to throughout our many neighbors in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties. Our members benefit from the ideas and principles that have shaped us: Shared trust, continuous innovation of products and services, competitive rates, and excellent member service. These qualities foster a true sense of member-ownership and strengthen the credit union’s bond with the people for whom this credit union was created.

Is This the Career for You?
SF Fire Credit Union is seeking a full-time Cybersecurity Governance, Risk and Compliance Manager to provide independent oversight of the Credit Union’s cybersecurity risk.

What You Get To Do
Independent Risk Assessment and Challenge- Independently review IT cybersecurity practices, policies, configurations, procedures, and control effectiveness
- Assess whether IT’s response to emerging vulnerabilities, security advisories, and threat intelligence is timely and proportionate to the institutions risk exposure
- Recommend improvements to IT controls, processes, resource allocation, and remediation plans
- Challenge decisions to defer remediation or accept cybersecurity risks and require documented justification and appropriate risk acceptance
- Establish expectations for sharing material cybersecurity information among IT, Information Security, Marketing, Compliance, Legal, Business Leadership, and affected functions
- Verify that relevant stakeholders are notified when a threat may affect the organization, its website, customer-facing systems, confidential information, or business operations

Authority and Organizational Positioning
The role should operate independently of the CIO and IT management reporting lines. It should have sufficient access to relevant systems documentation, policies, incident records, assessment results, and personnel to perform its oversight responsibilities.The role should have the authority to request corrective action plans, challenge proposed remediation timelines, recommend additional safeguards, and escalate unresolved concerns without IT management approval.
Where a material risk requires immediate protective action, the role should be empowered to recommend urgent containment measures and invoke a defined escalation process. Any authority to direct or suspend technology operations should be explicitly established in the organization's governance framework, including clear decision rights, emergency procedures, and coordination requirements with the CIO and CRO.
The role should be appropriately resourced for the institution’s size and risk profile. The initial structure may be a dedicated Cybersecurity Governance, Risk and Compliance Manager or an appropriately qualified individual with a clearly defined mandate, provided the necessary independence, expertise, and authority are maintained.
