Enterprise Cybersecurity AI Risk Analyst at Booz Allen – McLean | Jobyssey

Enterprise Cybersecurity AI Risk Analyst

The Opportunity:

Cyber threats are everywhere, and the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is changing how organizations evaluate technology, data, third-party services, and business risk. In all of this cyber and AI noise, how can teams understand the risks clearly enough to make safe, practical decisions? The answer is you, an information security risk specialist who can help break down emerging AI risk into clear, manageable actions.

As an AI Cyber Risk Analyst on our Enterprise IT and Cyber Risk team, you’ll support the safe, risk-informed adoption of artificial intelligence across the organization. You’ll review AI tools, platforms, AI-enabled products, generative AI use cases, automation, machine learning-enabled capabilities, and third-party AI integrations to identify cyber, technology, compliance, and operational risk. You’ll work across technical and non-technical teams to understand how AI is being used, evaluate applicable policies and control expectations, and document risk decisions in a clear and defensible way.

You’ll translate complex AI and cybersecurity concepts into concise business impact statements, risk summaries, and leadership-ready reporting. You’ll also help mature the enterprise AI cyber risk review process by contributing to scalable templates, consistent criteria, repeatable practices, and trend reporting that highlights recurring control gaps. This is your opportunity to serve as a key operator in a developing, high-visibility AI risk program while broadening your skills in AI governance, emerging technology risk, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk management.

Work with us as we protect the enterprise while enabling responsible AI adoption. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.
