Lead the design, build, and ongoing operation of security operations and risk programs that improve cyber maturity across core security foundations, including governance, intake, prioritization, escalation, and remediation follow-through.
Define and operationalize security KRIs, KPIs, and health metrics across key domains such as vulnerability management, incident response, detection and response effectiveness, control performance, remediation timeliness, and recurring risk themes.
Establish a consistent measurement framework, dashboarding model, and reporting taxonomy so security leaders can review trends, identify material gaps, and drive accountable action across their teams.

Drive root-cause analysis and remediation governance for significant operational issues, ensuring lessons learned are translated into durable process, technology, or control improvements.
Create and maintain a portfolio view of security initiatives, risks, dependencies, and commitments, and use that view to support prioritization, staffing discussions, and leadership tradeoff decisions.
Define standard methods for risk intake, issue tracking, exception handling, escalation thresholds, and verified closure to improve consistency across the security organization.
Improve the rigor of security operations by identifying opportunities for workflow simplification, automation, and better decision support, reducing toil while increasing transparency and accountability.
