- Build a positive, accountable team culture focused on development, collaboration, and strong client delivery.
- Lead vulnerability management activities across client environments, including vulnerability identification, prioritization, remediation tracking, and validation.
- Guide the team in determining which vulnerabilities present the greatest real-world risk based on severity, exploitability, asset criticality, exposure, and business impact.

- Track critical and aging vulnerabilities and ensure appropriate escalation and remediation plans are in place.
- Support Attack Surface Management and Exposure Management initiatives across client environments.
