Assist in the management and maintenance of the application's Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to ensure all third-party components are licensed, secure, and compliant
Develop and maintain comprehensive knowledge maps identifying key stakeholders, processes, and contacts for specific applications and Lines of Business (LOBs)
Create and refine knowledge bases for repeatable administrative and compliance tasks to drive efficiency and consistency
Identify and implement automation opportunities for repetitive tasks, such as evidence collection for audits or status report generation
