Principal, Enterprise Risk Management

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

The Role

Join Pure's expanding Internal Audit function to build and lead our dedicated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) capability. You'll bring your risk management expertise and advisory acumen to design, implement, and extend our ERM function, providing practical, actionable insights to support Pure's rapid growth. This critical role involves partnering with senior leadership and functions across the organization to develop enterprise-wide risk frameworks, assessments, and reporting.

What You'Ll Do

• Design and Implement Pure’s ERM Program: Own the development and execution of the complete ERM program, including frameworks, risk appetite, governance structures, and reporting protocols, ensuring alignment with external standards (e.g., COSO ERM, ISO 31000) and regulatory expectations.
• Drive Enterprise-Wide Risk Identification and Mitigation: Partner with senior leaders to actively identify, assess, prioritize, and monitor enterprise risks across strategic, operational, technology, and financial domains to enable informed business decisions.
• Lead Risk Reporting and Communication: Facilitate risk discussions, maintain key risk registers, and prepare and present periodic, executive-level ERM updates, dashboards, heat maps, and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to executive management and the Board’s Risk Committee.
• Embed a Risk-Aware Culture: Serve as a thought leader to influence and embed a proactive, risk-aware culture across the company, providing insights on emerging risk trends and promoting continuous improvement in risk management through technology and data analytics.
• We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated ability to design, enhance, and execute Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks, governance, and risk appetite, preferably in a high-growth environment.
• Expertise in developing and monitoring Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), comprehensive risk registers, heat maps, dashboards, and advanced issue/incident tracking processes.
• Deep familiarity with established ERM standards and frameworks such as COSO ERM or ISO 31000, and a proven track record of influencing and communicating with senior leadership.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills with meticulous attention to detail while successfully managing multiple, high-priority initiatives simultaneously.
