The Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority – ACWA JPIA for short – is a partnership of water agencies dedicated to avoiding the high cost of commercial insurance. Formed in 1979, JPIA is not an insurance agency or carrier. It is a risk-sharing pool for property, liability, workers’ compensation and employee benefits, which allows for more rate stability, broader coverage and expanded benefits and services than private insurance. Our offerings are unique to the water industry; member agencies themselves – their directors and managers – have selected and refined the various programs. Only agencies that demonstrate a commitment to effective risk management programs are accepted in to JPIA.
ACWA JPIA is an award-winning risk pool for California public water agencies, and we are excited to announce the opening for the position of Cybersecurity Risk Specialist. The candidate will work under the general direction of the Director of Pooled Programs and will join a dynamic team of six other employees. As cyber threats continue to evolve in both frequency and complexity, JPIA members require dedicated expertise to help protect their systems, data, and operations. The Cybersecurity Risk Specialist position was created to meet this growing need by providing critical support in identifying vulnerabilities, managing cyber risk, and promoting effective mitigation strategies through JPIA’s cybersecurity risk management programs. The ideal candidate is a cybersecurity professional with strong analytical skills and a passion for helping others manage cyber risk. This is a full-time, non-exempt position. The salary range is $107,459 - $161,190. To determine approximate total compensation, add an additional 38% to the salary. This more accurately represents the total benefits received as an employee. This position will require some travel to member facilities to conduct cyber-related risk assessments, and to deliver on-site cyber-related training including overnight stays, and to attend meetings and conferences.
