- Familiarity with cloud security (AWS/Azure) and identity and access management (IAM).
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical risk into terms both technical and non-technical stakeholders can act on.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally (up to 15–20%) to support on-site partner assessments as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
