Position Summary:
Kemper is seeking a Security Risk & Resilience Analyst to work at our Kemper office. This position combines substantive security GRC execution with security-culture and human-risk program design. The role uses risk, control, incident, phishing, training, and workforce data to identify behavioral and governance risk, influence business leaders, and drive measurable improvements rather than functioning as an administrative compliance or training-coordination role.
Position Responsibilities:
•
Execute security risk assessments, control and policy support, issue tracking, governance reporting, and assurance coordination with sufficient technical understanding to challenge weak evidence or control design.
•
Design targeted security-culture and human-risk interventions based on role, behavior, business context, incident patterns, and measurable risk indicators.
•
Develop role-based education, leader toolkits, campaigns, and behavior-change initiatives that extend beyond annual awareness requirements.
•
Analyze GRC, control, incident, phishing, training, and workforce data to identify risk patterns and measure program effectiveness.
•
Develop dashboards, KRIs/KPIs, cohort analyses, executive insights, and action plans tied to actual risk outcomes.
•
Partner with business leaders, HR, Communications, technology teams, and security specialists to implement sustainable changes in behavior and control execution.
•
Own assigned GRC/culture processes end to end; standardize, automate, document, and improve recurring workflows.
