- Demonstrated ability to independently own auditor relationships and manage an audit cycle end-to-end, including responding directly to auditor questions
- Experience leading incident response investigations from triage through root cause analysis and producing post-incident documentation that engineering teams can act on
- Demonstrated ability to translate security risk into business-risk language that enables leaders to make investment and prioritization decisions
- Active, demonstrated use of AI tools to accelerate security workflows such as evidence collection, policy drafting, regulatory research, or detection analysis
