  • Strong understanding of security and compliance frameworks such as SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST CSF.
  • Experience managing full-lifecycle cross-functional programs including planning, risk mitigation, dependency management, and executive reporting.
  • Advanced experience with Jira and GRC or policy management platforms.
