• Support recurring operational security workflows, including documentation, process tracking, and follow-up.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in a security-focused role, such as security operations, IAM, application security support, operational security, or a similar domain.
• Familiarity with core security concepts including phishing, authentication, access control, least privilege, and common vulnerability classes.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent workflows with strong attention to detail and reliable follow-through.
• Clear written communication and confidence coordinating across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Self-motivated, organized, and comfortable operating independently in a remote-first environment with minimal supervision.

Nice to Have
