- Partner with infrastructure, cloud, application development, and business teams to implement security best practices across the organization.

- Understanding of AI/LLM security, including the ability to evaluate Python-based AI frameworks and integrations.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical teams and executive leadership.
