What You’ll DoOversee, plan, and manage security initiatives for all security pillars.
Serve as the Security TPM for the security issues management program, running the end-to-end lifecycle on the security issues management Jira board from identification and triage through handoff, validation, closure, and reporting.
Triage every new issues against the priority rubric (exploitability, blast radius, data sensitivity, regulatory or audit linkage, and compensating controls), confirm or adjust the Reporter’s initial priority, and set a due date at triage, hand off to Assignee as identified.
Own Critical and High issues day to day, including executive notification, direct engagement with the Assignee, unblocking dependencies, and fast-tracking validation. Monitor additional issues through the recurring security issues management review and step in when an escalation trigger fires.
Enforce the analysis gate before handoff, approving a ticket as handoff-ready only when root cause, a specific recommended remediation, named impacted systems and teams, and verifiable acceptance criteria are documented.
Identify the correct accountable Assignee by role, run a single structured handoff meeting, and drive formal acceptance in Jira within the agreed window.
Confirm Assignee remediation plans meet the acceptance criteria without redesigning them, and help surface cross-team dependencies such as budget, tooling, or other teams.
Run the recurring cross-functional security issues review, require an updated due date and logged reason for any slippage, and act as decision-maker on priority and acceptance-criteria disputes, escalating unresolved disagreements to the Sponsor.
Formally close security issues only after independent Security validation passes, and reopen failed validations to the Assignee with the specific gap noted.
Maintain security issues management board hygiene, including identifying duplicate or overlapping tickets, consolidation opportunities, and tickets missing descriptions, due dates, or owners.
Lead the Cloud Governance program to convert eligible cloud-scoped remediations into enforceable Kion guardrails.
Create detailed project plans to support each initiative while defining and supporting metric visualization for all of BT.
Provide a steady stream of ideas and solutions during security initiatives to introduce innovation and improve operational efficiency.
Implement relevant metrics to measure security specific program success, including the security issues management program health (open and closed volume by priority tier, overdue tickets, tickets not yet accepted, and due-date slippage).
Develop reports to communicate program progress, including the monthly rollup and the quarterly Sponsor program review, to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Collaborate with other cross-functional teams.
Identify cross-team dependencies to incorporate them into the program planning process.
Ensure root cause analysis is completed for technical issues and security findings, and shepherd the implementation of solutions through accountable owners.
Make necessary recommendations for adjustments to security processes based on performance metrics.
Influence strategic decisions about security direction.
Participates in building and managing of AI processes to create operational efficiency.
Ensure complete compliance according to industry standards by documenting all the processes and adjusting them, when necessary.
