• Strong hands‑on AWS security experience, including IAM, multi-account governance, network security, and AWS-native security services such as GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudTrail.

• Deep experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, SSO/federation, privileged access, and identity lifecycle management.

• Demonstrated experience with endpoint security, vulnerability management, incident response, and MDR/SOC partnerships.

• Proven experience owning SOC 2 Type II audits end to end , including control implementation, evidence collection, audit coordination, and remediation.

• Working knowledge of AI security risks, including data leakage, over‑privileged agents, non-human identities, and secure AI integrations.

• A proactive approach to identifying risks, recommending solutions, and driving improvements independently, with strong communication skills across technical and business audiences.

Preferred

• Experience with PCI DSS and security frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.
