This role focuses on technical control ownership, vendor collaboration, recurring assessment and attestation, and delivery of security visibility through dashboards and controls reporting.
Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate with the Cloud Security team to automate attestation evidence and assess whether evidence currently gathered manually can be automated.
- Develop Cloud Security dashboard UI using Microsoft PowerBI, supporting stakeholders, partners, and the business in viewing Azure and AWS configuration violations.
- Provide statistics on dashboard usage.
- Gather customer input for requirements and maintain a backlog of capabilities for the Cloud Security Roadmap.
- Provide subject matter expertise by applying security concepts to design, build, and maintain technology solutions, including deliverables tied to project timelines.
- Work with architecture to translate high-level designs into implementation details, including sizing, integration details, onboarding, and operationalization.
- Evaluate patches, updates, and ongoing maintenance, determining impacts when new standards are implemented and using change control and governance processes to align solutions.
- Create and deliver detailed implementation, configuration, design, and engineering documentation, and build and implement solutions.
- Partner with operational teams to enable transition and day-to-day supportability.
