Planning & Delivery Oversight

  • Own end-to-end tracking of vulnerability remediation efforts
  • Ensure proper testing and validation with QE teams
  • Support release planning related to vulnerability fixes
  • Maintain organization and visibility across multiple concurrent tasks

Team Structure

  • Ability to assess severity and business impact of vulnerabilities

Coordination & Leadership

  • Proven ability to manage cross-team collaboration
  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills in high-volume environments
  • Experience working with SMEs, QA/QE teams, and business stakeholders
