• Assess AI, GenAI and agentic AI use cases from a cybersecurity perspective, considering risks such as prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, identity and access management, excessive agent permissions, model exposure, third-party AI services, data residency and AI supply chain risks.

• 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with a strong background in security governance, security architecture, risk management, AppSec or Cloud Security.
• Strong understanding of AI and GenAI security risks, including LLM application security, prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, RAG security, AI agent permissions, model/API exposure, model supply chain and third-party AI services.
• Experience designing and operationalizing security governance and control frameworks, with the ability to turn policies and risk requirements into practical controls, processes and security requirements.
• Knowledge of AI security and governance frameworks, such as NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and related AI risk and security standards.
• Ability to work across security, architecture and business teams, translating complex cybersecurity risks into clear requirements and recommendations for both technical and executive stakeholders.
