- Utilize a risk-based approach to your day-to-day work and surface pain points and recommend continuous-improvement ideas for these programs and processes
- Partner with IT operations, engineering, and compliance teams to help close access and process gaps and mature Coterie’s security posture
- Take on other security operations tasks that support the team, such as detection tuning, vulnerability remediation tracking, and tooling evaluations, as directed and as priorities shift
