Act as a trusted security advisor to IT, Engineering, DevOps, Product, and business teams, balancing risk reduction with business enablement.
Identity, Access & Zero Trust
Define and improve identity and access control architecture across enterprise systems, cloud services, SaaS platforms, and internal applications.
Support implementation and improvement of controls such as SSO, MFA, conditional access, device posture, privileged access management, RBAC, and access governance.
Review authentication and authorization models for internal and external-facing applications.
Help drive Zero Trust initiatives across users, devices, applications, networks, and data.
Security Standards, Patterns & Governance
Contribute to policies and procedures related to data protection, AI usage, and secure development.

Support continuous improvement of security architecture processes, documentation, and intake workflows.
Partner with Governance, Risk & Compliance, Legal, Privacy, and Procurement teams as needed.
Security Operations & Detection Enablement
Ensure systems are designed with appropriate security logging, SIEM integration, and visibility requirements to support SOC monitoring and incident response.
Work with SOC, Detection Engineering, EDR/XDR, SIEM, and Incident Response teams to embed visibility and response requirements into architecture.
Support investigations and post-incident reviews when architecture improvements or control enhancements are required.
