  • Partner with the Business: Support Sales and GTM teams with customer security questionnaires, audits, and front-line security engagement
  • Balance strong security outcomes with a pragmatic, commercial mindset that enables business velocity

Requirements

  • Deep knowledge of modern cyber security principles, threat landscapes, threat intelligence, and remediation techniques
  • Experience coordinating outcomes across internal teams, external vendors, auditors, and security partners
