• Are detail-oriented and quality-minded, especially when reviewing evidence, updating policies, preparing auditor materials, or responding to customer and vendor security requests

• Maintain transparency across security-related work by communicating tasks, risks, status, decisions, and updates to the Security team, Security Committee, and broader company audiences as appropriate
• Track major security initiatives and help ensure they remain on schedule by maintaining clear workback plans, surfacing blockers early, and coordinating with owners across functions
• Perform third-party security reviews for prospective vendor partners, including intake, questionnaire review, evidence assessment, risk documentation, and recommendation preparation
• Support customer security reviews for prospective and existing customers by coordinating responses, collecting accurate information, managing review artifacts, and helping ensure timely completion
