• Proficiency in building and maintaining productive relationships with vendors, regional leads, and internal stakeholders.
• Ability to communicate complex security concepts and risk postures clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Strong judgment in managing escalation and exceptions during critical security situations.
• Experience liaising directly with talent and their security teams, tailoring security measures appropriately.
