• Security-savvy. You have some understanding of security in business, and understanding security scenarios such as SecOps and security posture management is helpful. You're prepared and curious to learn more about security principles and solutions with independent learning and self-training.
• Effective content management. You know how to allocate and balance your time, track work across deliverables, work in planned content sprints, negotiate priorities with partner teams, and juggle accordingly for unexpected issues.
• Initiative and leadership. You know how to lead the content experience for a product, leading content planning, publishing, and maintainance.
