Principal IT Risk Management Analyst

At Strategic Education Inc., our mission is to enable economic mobility through education. Through our portfolio of institutions and learning solutions, we serve working adult learners by improving affordability, engagement, and workforce readiness. This mission guides our approach to technology, cybersecurity, and risk management.

The Principal IT Risk Management Analyst is a senior leader responsible for advancing the organization's IT risk management program. This is not a compliance or audit role. The successful candidate will have deep experience identifying, assessing, quantifying, and managing technology risk, along with the technical understanding needed to evaluate security controls, identify technology risks, and engage effectively with cybersecurity, engineering, and architecture teams. While the role does not require designing technical solutions or interpreting detailed system configurations, it does require the ability to understand how technology decisions, vulnerabilities, and control weaknesses translate into organizational risk and business impact.

This role drives strategy, leads complex technology risk assessments, and partners across the enterprise to ensure technology risks are effectively identified, measured, managed, and communicated in alignment with organizational risk appetite and tolerance. Success in this role requires the ability to translate technical risk into meaningful business context for executive leadership.Essential Duties & Responsibilities
