Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 92 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card follow-through: 99%

Of 78 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 497 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

49 transfer filings in the last year, covering 49 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • We are seeking a technical cybersecurity leader with a proven track record delivering large cross-functional programs from concept to success.
  • We act as trusted advisors and change agents across Workday to protect the data of our fellow Workmates and 8000+ customers.

Responsibilities

  • Process & Technology Transformation: Refine existing workflows to eliminate bottlenecks, optimize cybersecurity tooling, and ensure the team is focused on high-value risk mitigation, including industrializing security governance and control enforcement by driving the adoption of policy-as-code and secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices at scale.
  • Talent Upskilling: Foster a deep cybersecurity mindset and drive talent upskilling initiatives across the organization to support program adoption.
  • Work cross-functionally (including but not limited to Legal, GCO, Product, Platform, and Cybersecurity) to design processes and enable tools to drive consistency in Workday's position and response to AI-related prospect and customer questions.
  • Working with security risk, Legal, GCO and industry as well as regulatory partners, identify AI-cybersecurity topics that require positioning statements and drive efforts to secure investment, design and deliver solutions that mitigate evolving AI-security risks.
  • Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 10+ experience in GRC domains, regulatory landscapes, and GRC technologies.
  • Experience with driving cross-functional cybersecurity alignment across a global workforce and lead by influence across departmental lines without direct authority.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills under intense pressure, with the ability to translate complex technical risks for non-technical executives.

  • Experience analyzing technical cybersecurity data, such as vulnerability management SLA results by functional team, and using this data for strategic decision making purposes.
  • Experience handling interpersonal relationships and highly confidential matters with a high degree of self-awareness and discretion.
