• Establish automated security controls, policy-as-code, and testing expectations for CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code workflows.
• Lead cloud threat modeling, architecture risk reviews, and executive-level risk discussions for critical cloud applications, platforms, and services.
• Define security testing and assurance approaches that identify and reduce security weaknesses throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Direct the use and maturation of cloud-native security capabilities and CNAPP technologies to validate control effectiveness, prioritize risk, and drive remediation.
• Manage a portfolio of cloud security programs from requirements through design, implementation, maturation, operational transition, and benefits realization.
• Assess enterprise cloud security capability gaps and sponsor practical implementation roadmaps with IT and Cybersecurity stakeholders.
• Drive adoption of automated, repeatable, and policy-driven DevSecOps practices across cloud delivery and engineering processes.
• Advise technology teams and Cybersecurity leadership on cloud security priorities, risk tradeoffs, service improvements, and investment decisions.
• Lead, coach, and develop cloud security professionals and oversee selected cloud security capabilities where ownership remains with the Cloud Security team.
• Develop cybersecurity countermeasures, risk mitigation approaches, and implementation guidance aligned to technology and business requirements.
• Maintain senior stakeholder communication and cross-team relationships required for successful cybersecurity delivery and adoption.
• Sponsor configuration and change management practices for security capabilities throughout implementation, transition, and ongoing improvement.
