• Implement layered threat detection and advanced security monitoring tools.
• Ensure strong data governance and protection for structured and unstructured data, including sensitive taxpayer and payment data.

• Collaborate with product, IT, engineering, and leadership stakeholders to align security strategies with business goals.
• Evolve and enforce security governance policies, standards, and incident response playbooks.
• Promote a culture of security awareness through training and internal evangelism.

Qualifications:
