• Strong collaboration and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor complex information for diverse audiences

• Strong analytical and problem solving skills, with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Assurance, Software Engineering, or a related field
