  • Policy & Procedure Development: Help develop, implement, and enforce security policies, procedures, and guidelines that are practical and effective for our environment.

  • Security Monitoring & Analytics: Enhance our detective capabilities by improving security monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to identify suspicious activities and potential threats.

  • Automation & Tooling: Drive automation of security tasks and workflows to improve efficiency and effectiveness of security operations.

  • Collaboration & Mentorship: Work closely with cross-functional teams (IT, Engineering, Legal, etc.) to foster a security-aware culture and provide technical guidance to junior team members.

  • Stay Ahead of Threats: Continuously research and evaluate emerging security threats, technologies, and best practices to recommend new approaches and solutions.

About you:
