The Opportunity
As part of Hitachi Energy’s Cybersecurity Compliance business, you will play an important role in strengthening the cybersecurity posture that supports critical power‑grid technologies and operations across the United States. This role gives you the opportunity to shape how cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and national‑security requirements are integrated into the systems and processes that help modernize, protect, and sustain the energy ecosystem. You will work with people across legal, technical, and business functions to translate U.S. cybersecurity regulations and international standards into actionable steps that keep our capabilities resilient and compliant.
In this position, you will guide the Cybersecurity Compliance Program with a focus on CFIUS obligations, U.S. cybersecurity regulatory requirements, and internationally recognized standards such as NIST and ISO/IEC 27001. Your work will help maintain the trustworthiness, reliability, and security of technologies that enable safe and efficient power‑grid operations—including managing audit readiness, supporting assessments, and enabling continuous improvement in compliance processes and tools. You will build a deep understanding of cybersecurity frameworks that shape the future of secure energy systems while contributing to a culture of collaboration, rigor, and innovation.

  • Work with legal, technical, and business teams to maintain a proactive cybersecurity compliance posture.
  • Support assessments and audits related to ISO 27001, ISMS, and application‑level reviews tied to CFIUS obligations.
  • Drive improvements in compliance tooling and workflows, including work in ServiceNow IRM, OneTrust, and SharePoint migration efforts.
  • Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.

  • Experience working in a global, multicultural environment, collaborating across functions and time zones.
