• Review, develop, and maintain IT and security policies, standards, and procedures (e.g., the electronic use/acceptable use policy, data protection policy, and emerging areas such as AI usage policy), in partnership with the Director of Cybersecurity & Infrastructure.
• Own Zero Trust and Conditional Access policy design within Microsoft Entra ID, including MFA policy, identity protection alerting, and least-privilege role design.

• Partner with leadership on annual planning to identify and prioritize the coming year's security initiatives.
• Partner with and mentor IT associates on security best practices, helping to elevate the organization's overall security posture.
• Support completion of cyber insurance renewal questionnaires and audit/compliance documentation requests.
