• Identify capability gaps and recommend practical improvements to the Director of Cybersecurity.

• Coordinate MSSP delivery, including alert quality, escalation paths, playbooks, service levels and improvement plans; raise coverage gaps and unresolved risks.
• Provide an escalation path for Regional IT and properties, coordinating response through established operating structures.
• Maintain practical hotel security scorecards and review material risks and corrective actions with Technology and property leaders.
• Support PCI and privacy assessments with technical evidence, control testing and remediation of assigned findings.
• Review security needs for cloud, applications, integrations, major changes and property openings; maintain procedures and technical documentation.

Automation and AI-enabled workflows

• Build security-focused scripts, integrations and workflows for alert enrichment, investigation, phishing analysis, vulnerability prioritization, case documentation and reporting.
• Apply least privilege, secure credential handling, data minimization, audit logging and human review; test accuracy, reliability and operational value.
• Keep consequential actions, including containment, access changes and external communications, within approved authorization and escalation controls.
• Partner with Enterprise Data & AI and AI Engineering when workflows require shared AI services, governed data access or production applications.
