• Liaise with business and system owners to manage changes in line with their controls and our partner obligations
• Keep current with the latest security, vulnerability, and technology developments relevant our threat landscape

Sound like you? This is what we're looking for:

• Hands-on experience with Cisco switch infrastructure
• Ability to analyze complex problems, determine root cause, and implement corrective action with a sense of urgency
• Strong research, data-analysis, and project management skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders across the organization

Nice-to-Haves:

• Prior experience in games, media, or IP-sensitive environments where partner or client confidentiality obligations shape the security program

• Hands-on experience with Entra ID and Intune
• Progress toward, or completion of, industry certifications (e.g. CompTIA Security+, MSFT SC-200, Blue Team/SOC analyst credentials)
