Experience

• 3-5 years of experience in the field or a related area.
• Specialized courses or certificates from the Big Data/Data management program.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities in dynamic environments.
• Excellent communication skills for engaging technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Exceptional organizational skills to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
• Proficiency with GRC tools (e.g., ServiceNow GRC) and vulnerability management platforms.
