Responsibilities

Your discretionary time will be devoted to organizational design, culture, and alignment across the company.

Partner with Product and Innovation teams to execute a credible agentic SOC roadmap, proving that you give more than you take by creating extreme value and building deep trust across internal teams. (Give More Than We Take)
Spot systemic operational bottlenecks, tool friction, or analyst burnout risks, and build the solutions yourself without waiting for a formal invitation or permission. (Give a $h*t)

Proven success in creating and executing a strategic plan for a major security function with full accountability for organizational design and resource decisions.
