• A strong hands-on technology background in software or platform engineering, DevSecOps, cloud engineering or security, penetration testing, security engineering or architecture.
• Experience applying your technical expertise to risk, security or control decisions, whether from within Technology or a Risk function.

• Strong critical thinking and the ability to develop sound risk judgement across complex and ambiguous problems.
• The confidence and communication skills to engage credibly with both deeply technical and senior stakeholders.
• A curious, pragmatic and collaborative mindset, with the willingness to bring your own perspective and learn from others.
