• Comfortable working through ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Define and govern security architectures across major tech initiatives.
• Ensure alignment with security policies, principles, and risk frameworks.
• Lead security quality assurance activities and support operational readiness.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, vendors, and business teams to embed appropriate security controls.
• Evaluate new security technologies and help shape our capability roadmaps.
• Create reusable frameworks and patterns to simplify future projects.
• Translate technical risk into business context - enabling informed, confident decisions.
• Support the creation and governance of enterprise security strategies and standards.
• Build strong relationships across the tech industry to stay ahead of emerging threats and opportunities.
