Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only for clinicians who already have cybersecurity, IT audit, risk, or compliance experience; most clinicians would need substantial retraining and cannot pivot directly into a principal-level cyber audit role.
Who should apply
Cybersecurity auditors, IT risk/compliance professionals, and security consultants with enterprise control-assessment or M&A integration experience; clinicians with prior cyber/audit credentials may be competitive.
CV angle
Frame any real healthcare compliance, privacy, risk, audit, or IT governance work using cybersecurity-audit language: control testing, evidence validation, gap analysis, remediation tracking, stakeholder reporting, and regulated-environment experience. Do not claim cyber controls experience without evidence.
Skills to highlight
- Cybersecurity control assessment
- Audit evidence validation
- Risk and gap analysis
- Remediation tracking
- Stakeholder management
- Technical documentation and reporting
- M&A integration support
- Regulated healthcare environment experience
Role summary
A principal-level cybersecurity auditor supporting M&A integration at Optum/UHG by independently assessing whether acquired companies have implemented required cybersecurity controls, validating evidence, identifying gaps, and reporting integration progress and risks.
