Domain Related Responsibilities - Identity * Define identity guardrails including authentication strength, privileged access controls, and identity-based risk thresholds. * Monitor identity posture signals (e.g., MFA coverage, privileged access hygiene, risky access paths) and escalate systemic weaknesses. * Ensure identity governance is treated as a primary attack-vector control domain across cloud, endpoint, and product environments. What you'll need: Essential * Fluent English – reading, writing and conversation skills. * Demonstrable experience in technical security governance, security assurance, or risk-based security oversight in a global environment * Strong understanding of cybersecurity policies, standards, and frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIST CSF). * Strong understanding of cloud security, vulnerability management, identity risk, and modern attack paths and exposure management. * Experience working with global engineering and operations teams * Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. * Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams. * Ability to communicate risk and technical posture clearly to senior stakeholders and non-technical audiences.
