You'll take ownership of enforcing cloud security standards by strengthening baselines and configurations across compute, storage, networking, identity, and container services. A key aspect of the role is establishing and maintaining a robust cloud security governance framework, aligning policies and baselines with recognized standards such as CIS Benchmarks, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CSA CCM.

From a leadership perspective, you will guide and mentor cloud and security teams, setting clear expectations, encouraging best practices, and fostering a strong security-first culture across the organization. You will also present executive-level insight on cloud security posture, risk trends, and program maturity to senior leadership and board-level committees.
