• Define target-state security capabilities and drive adoption through repeatable, scalable processes.
• Establish meaningful metrics to measure control effectiveness, remediation progress, and overall program maturity.

• Embed security controls into software delivery and cloud engineering workflows, including CI/CD pipelines and pre-deployment validation.
• Partner with engineering teams to implement secure-by-design practices and preventative controls such as secrets protection, vulnerability gating, and policy enforcement.
• Promote automation and integration of security tooling to improve detection, prioritization, and remediation workflows.

• Lead risk identification, prioritization, and remediation planning for assigned platforms and services.
• Support internal audits, external assessments, regulatory reviews, and client assurance activities.
