- Identity & Access Management: Audit and enforce strict IAM, PAM, and MFA protocols across all corporate and production systems.
- Compliance & Governance: Align our security programs with industry standards (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, or GDPR as applicable) and manage internal/external audits.
Phase 2: Scale & Lead (Team Building Focus)
- Talent Acquisition: Own the roadmap for security headcount. Source, interview, and hire specialized talent (e.g., SecOps, GRC, AppSec engineers).
- Leadership & Mentorship: Define clear KPIs, foster a culture of continuous learning, and provide technical mentorship to your growing team.

- Framework Fluency: Direct experience implementing and auditing frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001.
- Code/Scripting (Preferred): Ability to write basic scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to automate security workflows is a major plus.
Leadership & Soft Skills
- The "Builder" Mentality: You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building processes and teams from scratch rather than just maintaining legacy systems.
