pThe Money Forward Group is expanding into the financial and banking sectors, including digital banking. Rigorous risk management and quality standards across the Group are a top management priority. /ppMoney Forward Vietnam (MFV) is the Group’s development hub, with approximately 470 employees across two offices in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, working on more than 50 products across 21 divisions. The Group’s security assessments have reaffirmed that MFV’s local governance and execution capabilities are directly linked to trust, business continuity, and delivery across the Group. /ppTo date, a small local team has supported MFV’s security under the direction of the Group CISO Office in Japan. Going forward, MFV is expected not only to embed Group standards locally, but also to lead risk decisions that reflect Vietnam’s language, culture, and laws; and implement financial-sector-level controls, including physical security. /ppWe are therefore establishing a dedicated security team at MFV and seeking an MFV CISO to lead it and take full responsibility for MFV’s security. As a member of the leadership team, you will help build the foundation for MFV’s evolution from a development hub into a Value Co-Creation Hub. /ph3KEY RESPONSIBILITIES /h3pAs the leader responsible for information security at MFV, you will oversee everything from strategy, controls, and operations to incident response and team building. /ph3Security Strategy and Governance /h3ulliDevelop MFV’s security strategy and medium-term roadmap, report to and build alignment with MFV leadership and the Group CISO. /liliDrive the application and adoption of Group standards at MFV, including Group CISO Office policies, standards, and shared controls. /liliDevelop local policies and controls that address Vietnam-specific risks,
