- Data Protection Program Management: Manage the company's data protection program, including monitoring for and investigating potential security policy violations. Oversee the incident response process for internal security events, reporting to HR, Legal, and department heads as needed.
- Security Control & Policy Deployment: Develop and implement strategies to protect sensitive company data. Drive the deployment of new preventative controls and security policies across our endpoints, SaaS applications, and communication platforms to reduce risk.
- Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary point of contact for internal data security matters, frequently briefing business leaders on incidents, new controls, and the company's security posture.
- Driving Results: Proactively drive security initiatives and incident remediation to completion by removing roadblocks and instilling a sense of urgency.
