  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into business impact for non-technical audiences and executive stakeholders.
  • High analytical and mature problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Deep understanding of security frameworks and threat modelling approaches, including MITRE ATT&CK, NIST 800-61, ASD Essential Eight, and cyber kill chain methodology.
