• Familiarity with AI security principles and practical knowledge of how to secure AI adoption in a corporate environment.
• Demonstrated experience using AI to build security controls, automate security processes, or scale security operations.
• Ability to assess risk in ambiguous situations and make balanced security decisions that consider both offensive and defensive perspectives.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders and manage up effectively.
