• Help translate Corporate Security activities and technical security capabilities into compliance evidence and control outcomes.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with control owners, Engineering, Product, IT, Security, Legal, Privacy, Finance, Sales, and business-unit stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted advisor rather than simply a compliance reviewer, helping stakeholders understand the intent behind security and compliance requirements.

• Understand competing business priorities and help balance security, compliance, operational efficiency, and business objectives.
