• Demonstrated experience leading technical projects or small project teams, guiding solution design, mentoring others, and driving work through delivery
• Strong information security knowledge and the ability to work with vulnerability, exposure, cloud, application, endpoint, identity, governance, and control data
• Experience defining and operationalizing KPIs, KRIs, control measures, and outcome-based metrics, including calculation logic, thresholds, targets, ownership, and validation
• Working knowledge of governed data-product practices, including role-based access, lineage, metadata, data quality, ownership, and secure data sharing
• Experience with security analytics, business intelligence, dashboard development, data visualization, and executive or operational reporting
• Advanced hands-on skill with Python, SQL, APIs, data modeling, databases, and automated data pipelines
• Experience building analytical models, pipelines, or data products on Snowflake, an enterprise data platform, or a comparable cloud data ecosystem
• Experience designing, developing, deploying, and operating applications or data services in AWS or another major cloud platform
• Advanced oral and written communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical and risk concepts to leaders, control owners, engineers, and remediation teams
• Advanced ability to translate business and security needs into maintainable technical solutions, measurable outcomes, and actionable recommendations
• Advanced investigative, analytical, problem-solving, stakeholder-management, change-management, negotiation, and influence skills
• Ability to balance strategic architecture with hands-on engineering, manage competing priorities, and operate effectively with limited direction
• Ability to work effectively across technical, operational, risk, governance, and business functions
• Master's degree in Arts/Sciences (MA/MS) or relevant professional industry certification
• CISSP, CISA, CCSP, CGRC, Comptia CASP+, OSCP, CEH Certifications
• Experience managing and developing security data products, analytics, reporting, or metrics within a governed enterprise data environment
• Experience with Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Atlan, Power BI, Git-based development workflows, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, containers, or serverless application patterns
• Experience with security platforms such as Wiz, GitHub Advanced Security, GitGuardian, CrowdStrike, Tenable, Nucleus, LogicGate, or comparable technologies
• Knowledge of exposure management, vulnerability prioritization, risk-based remediation, security program measurement, and control-effectiveness reporting
• Experience with AI-enabled integrations, automation, or Model Context Protocol
