• Policy Development: Assist in drafting and maintaining information security policies and procedures. 
• Perform risk assessments and gap analyses for IT systems that handle PHI and financial data. 
• Automate and monitor controls through scheduled reviews, scripts, or tooling to reduce manual effort and improve coverage. 
• High-Touch Support: Experience directly supporting executives is valuable here; you will act as a bridge between the CISO and various business units, requiring professionalism and discretion. 

AI & Innovation 

• AI Governance: Support the CISO in defining the guardrails for Generative AI that balance innovation with risk (e.g., data leakage, appropriate use). 
• Applied AI/Automation: Utilize prompt engineering and automation tools to streamline governance workflows. If you can script it or prompt it to save time, we want you to build it.

• General Technical Proficiency: Microsoft Office 365 and associated applications; Excel, Teams, Forms, PowerQuery, etc. 
• Growth Mindset: You are resilient and don't get discouraged by manual processes; you look for ways to optimize them. 
• Communication: Excellent written communication is non-negotiable. You must be able to explain complex technical risks to non-technical stakeholders clearly and concisely. 
• AI Familiarity: Demonstrated interest or experience with LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot). Experience with prompt engineering or Python scripting for automation is highly valued. 
• Curiosity: You read about LLM risks, changing regulations or new breaches for fun. You are technically apt enough to converse with engineers but focused on governance. You never have enough knowledge about the business or systems you help oversee.

The "Edge" (Preferred Experience)

• Direct experience selling Graph Technology or high-performance data platforms.
• Background in Open Source business models or hybrid SaaS/On-prem environments.
• Experience at high-growth icons like Neo4j, MongoDB, Snowflake, Redis, or Databricks.
