● Develop and refine prompts, pipelines, and agentic workflows using large language models (LLMs) and low-code/no-code automation tools (e.g., n8n, Make, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or similar).

● Evaluate emerging agentic AI patterns including multi-agent coordination, tool use, and human-in-the-loop oversight; implement them as working systems within the security environment.

● Stay current on advances in AI/ML as applied to threat intelligence and corporate security use cases and brief leadership on implications and opportunities.

Crisis & Emergency Management

● Support the GSOC during critical events, natural disasters, and corporate emergencies including coordination with field security teams, physical security partners, and emergency services.
