  • Experience working across or leading Red team, Blue team / SecOps, or Application Security.
  • Experience setting strategy, managing roadmaps, and delivering measurable security outcomes across multiple teams.
  • Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on.
  • Experience working in fast-paced environments with frequent releases.
  • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
