  • Ensure Compliance and Best Practices: Apply recognized risk management frameworks and ensure alignment with cybersecurity standards and regulations.
  • Motivate and Mobilize Teams: Lead cybersecurity professionals, engineers, and analysts in a matrix environment to execute on shared goals.
  • Monitor, Report, Improve: Track project performance against KPIs, manage budgets, and implement continuous improvement strategies to enhance delivery effectiveness.

  • Technical Acumen: Strong grasp of identity and access management concepts, vulnerability remediation, and cybersecurity principles.
  • Project Tools Expertise: Hands-on experience with tools like Clarity, JIRA, and Confluence.
  • Collaboration Across Borders: Experience working in virtual, global, or matrixed environments with diverse teams and stakeholders.
