The Strategy&Control area of Corporate Security is the department within Corporate Security responsible for defining the area's strategy, performing budgeting and budget monitoring, PMO monitoring, RCA, and service monitoring.

The Corporate Security team ensures the protection of the Group's resources and information (including that provided by clients) by developing the necessary measures to ensure adequate management of BBVA's security risk exposure.

As part of the first line of defense for non-financial risk management in the organization, we are looking for a Strategy & Risk Governance professional, responsible for developing the area's strategy based on existing threats, ensuring that the Unit's non-financial risk model is properly implemented, controlled, and reported to the relevant bodies. All of this at a global level, serving as the link between the holding area and the Group BBVA's geographic BUs.

Ultimately, you will have a privileged and transversal view of Corporate Security at a global level, connecting strategy, risk, execution, and governance.

The following areas of responsibility are defined:

• Define and evolve the global Corporate Security strategy, considering the evolution of threats, the Group's risk profile, business priorities, and the regulatory context.
• Translate the strategy into concrete priorities, initiatives, and action plans, monitoring their execution and facilitating decision-making by management.
• Ensure the proper implementation of the non-financial risk management model in Corporate Security, guaranteeing its consistency and alignment with the Group's corporate frameworks.
• Coordinate the identification, assessment, monitoring, and reporting of the main security risks, providing an aggregated view of risk exposure and its evolution.
• Define and maintain the Corporate Security governance model, ensuring that roles, responsibilities, decision processes, and escalation mechanisms are clearly established.
• Prepare and coordinate reporting to relevant governing bodies and decision forums, providing clear, executive information oriented toward decision-making.
• Act as a link between Corporate Security Holding and the geographies and Business Units, driving a consistent global model and facilitating the exchange of information, priorities, and best practices.
• Drive a data-driven risk management culture, developing metrics, indicators, and mechanisms that allow for anticipating deviations and measuring the effectiveness of the strategy and controls.

What will your day-to-day look like if you join our team?

You will work with the various specialist Corporate Security teams to understand the evolution of threats and risks, analyze their impact, and convert that information into strategic priorities and decisions.

You will maintain continuous dialogue with geographies and Business Units to understand their situation, identify possible deviations from the global model, and coordinate common initiatives.

You will analyze risk and security indicators, identify trends, and prepare executive materials to facilitate decision-making in committees and governing bodies.

You will also participate in the evolution of the function's governance frameworks, processes, and mechanisms, continuously seeking ways to simplify, automate, and improve risk management and reporting.
