A strong understanding of the various data types, environments, and security measures is essential. The successful candidate will be a collaborative leader with the ability to work autonomously while influencing teams to improve and strengthen the organization’s overall data security posture. The ideal candidate for this role will possess a strong balance of expertise in both data management and cybersecurity, as these two domains are essential for delivering immediate, effective solutions. A key attribute for success in this role is natural curiosity combined with a "zero trust" mindset developed through hands-on experience.

This role requires a proven individual contributor who has consistently stepped into undefined situations and left a lasting impact through the development of processes, operations, and reporting frameworks that have matured the organization’s security posture. The ideal candidate understands that simply enabling security controls is not sufficient; true success lies in how effectively one manages and interprets security logs to identify and mitigate real risks, ultimately ensuring the security of the organization by addressing potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
