- Run vulnerability and patch management for corporate systems: risk-based prioritization, remediation SLAs, and compliance tracking with IT and system owners

- Deep experience securing macOS or Linux fleets, with working knowledge across macOS, Linux, and Windows
- A strong grasp of emerging enterprise security challenges: shadow IT, AI agents in the workplace, SaaS-to-SaaS integrations, browser security, and data exfiltration paths
- Familiarity with security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, CIS, ISO 27001)
