- Collaborate with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to define, prioritize, and deliver technical solutions.
- Present complex technical challenges and resolutions to leadership and stakeholders.
- Drive enhancements and automation within platforms like ServiceNow IRM, while also contributing to broader cybersecurity initiatives.

- Stay current on regulatory and industry standards (e.g., FedRAMP, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001) to inform risk and control strategies.
- Launch and manage cybersecurity risk assessments and remediation efforts.
- Build strategies for issue and risk mitigation, contingency planning, and compliance adherence.
- Demonstrate ownership and autonomy in managing programs and delivering high-quality results.
