    • Embed vulnerability management into operational processes with IT partners.
    • Partner with IT Leadership to develop and mature the information security program, expanding scope as priorities evolve.
    • Recruit, mentor, and develop security staff; build repeatable, documented processes so the program isn't dependent on any one person.
    • Define operating procedures, escalation paths, and reporting cadences for owned functions.
    • Produce security metrics and program updates for leadership; maintain visibility into open risks and escalate blockers.
    • Represent the security program in cross-functional meetings and with external partners.

    • Minimum of 5+ years experience in information security, with minimum of 2 years' experience in a lead or management capacity.
