  • Support governance frameworks and security controls for AI-enabled technologies, agentic workflows, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.
  • Develop and enhance privileged access management capabilities that provide strong authentication, authorization, and access governance controls.
  • Partner with cybersecurity architecture, infrastructure, engineering, and platform teams to embed security controls into enterprise technology solutions.
  • Design and implement automated access certification, approval, attestation, monitoring, and audit workflows.
  • Maintain comprehensive audit trails and control evidence supporting regulatory, risk, governance, and compliance requirements.
  • Analyze emerging risks associated with AI technologies and recommend appropriate security controls and mitigation strategies.
  • Contribute to security architecture reviews and provide technical guidance on identity security best practices.
