Job Summary:
Healthcare security isn’t a compliance checkbox problem — it’s a patient safety problem. At Froedtert ThedaCare, the Cybersecurity GRC Manager owns the program that connects our governance posture to real-world risk outcomes for patients, clinicians, and the communities we serve across Wisconsin.
This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy leadership role inside a Cybersecurity & Infrastructure team that operates with strategic intent and operational rigor. You will build and run a team of 5+ GRC professionals, serve as the internal subject matter authority on compliance and risk, and translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable programs that the broader organization can execute against.
If you’ve built GRC programs from scratch (or rebuilt ones that needed it), know your way around a HIPAA gap analysis and a third-party risk assessment in equal measure, are people-focused, and lead with clarity rather than bureaucracy — this is the role for you
People Leadership
•Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 5+ GRC analysts and specialists across compliance, risk, policy, and awareness domains
•Establish clear role expectations, development pathways, and performance standards for each team member
•Foster a team culture that balances rigor with pragmatism — we care about outcomes, not just documentation

•Lead the third-party risk management program, including vendor onboarding assessments, ongoing monitoring, and risk-tiering across the supply chain
•Develop risk reporting for executive and board audiences, translating technical risk into business impact language
Policy & Controls Frameworks
•Own the cybersecurity policy lifecycle: authorship, review cadence, version control, approval workflows, and exception management
•Maintain alignment to NIST CSF, managing control mapping, evidence collection, and control effectiveness measurement
•Drive continuous improvement of the controls environment based on assessment findings, threat intelligence inputs, and regulatory changes
Audit & Assessment Management
•Serve as the primary point of contact and program lead for internal and external cybersecurity audits and assessments
•Coordinate evidence collection, manage stakeholder readiness, and oversee finding remediation tracking through to closure
•Develop and maintain audit-ready documentation across all GRC domains
Security Awareness & Phishing Simulation
• Own the enterprise security awareness program, including curriculum development, delivery scheduling, and effectiveness measurement
• Manage the phishing simulation program end-to-end: scenario design, cadence, metrics, and targeted follow-up training for at-risk populations
• Tailor awareness content for diverse audiences — from clinical staff to executive leadership — with a voice that educates rather than shames
EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:
• A minimum of six year experience in a related field.
• Prefer 3+ years leading or managing a team in a GRC, compliance, or risk management capacity
