Partner with engineering, architecture, and landing zone teams to confirm scope, reduce false positives, and ensure remediation guidance is actionable and aligned to cloud patterns.
Track and report remediation performance, with an emphasis on backlog burndown, trend analysis, and executive-ready status updates.
Collaborate across ISRM with peer security teams to strengthen business engagement strategies, standardizing communications, and identifying automation opportunities for workflow efficiency.
Qualifications

Strong understanding of cloud security fundamentals and common misconfiguration and vulnerability classes in AWS, Azure, and/or GCP (multi-cloud experience strongly valued).
Demonstrated ability to triage findings, drive remediation across multiple teams, and keep work moving forward through strong follow-up and stakeholder management.
Experience translating technical findings into clear risk narratives and remediation plans for engineering audiences.
Excellent written and verbal communication; comfort facilitating working sessions, aligning on action plans, and managing timelines.
Familiarity with IaC technologies and delivery pipelines (Terraform/CloudFormation; CI/CD concepts and common tooling like GitHub workflows/CodePipeline/CodeDeploy).
Experience working with CSPM/CNAPP platforms (Wiz, Prisma Cloud, etc.) and driving remediation outcomes.
Basic scripting/automation skills (e.g. Python, Bash) to streamline operational tasks.
Preferred
Familiarity with security compliance frameworks (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, CIS, ISO 27001) and how they influence remediation prioritization.
Familiarity with container and Kubernetes ecosystems (e.g. image scanning concepts, runtime vs build-time issues).
