•    Coordinate program activities

•    Ensure alignment across identity, AI security, SOC, SIEM, and related initiatives

•    Mentor junior PMO analyst and oversee cross-project workload alignment

•    Provide ad hoc subject-matter/process guidance when technical teams get stuck
•    Act as extension of the CISO for prioritization, follow-ups, and escalation
