• Strong understanding of network protocols, routing, and segmentation concepts
• Experience with secure remote access technologies
• Familiarity with vulnerability management and remediation processes
• Experience working in industrial, manufacturing, or OT environments is preferred
• Ability to communicate technical requirements clearly to asset owners

Key Attributes

• Strong collaborator (influence without ownership model)
• Practical, implementation-focused mindset
• Ability to translate security requirements into actionable guidance
• Comfortable operating across multiple domains
