• Excellent verbal and written skills; comfortable translating security concepts into clear documentation.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a track record of building positive relationships across non‑technical teams (like Legal, HR, Finance) and technical teams (like IT and Engineering) to resolve security risks collaboratively.
