• Lead evidence collection and audit readiness activities within owned domains.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of control documentation, runbooks, and regulatory attestation packages.
• Integrate operational systems to enable real‑time data flow across incident, change, and compliance platforms.
• Develop AI‑assisted workflows to enrich incidents, surface risk signals, and accelerate decision‑making.
• Identify opportunities to improve operational practices, processes, and standards.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to more junior team members.
• Drive continuous improvement in operational metrics through instrumentation and observability.

• Ownership of a defined operational resilience domain (e.g., DR evidence automation, incident enrichment pipeline).
• Regulatory and audit evidence packages for owned control areas.
• Tailored automation solutions addressing compliance or operational risk gaps.
• Runbooks and standards documentation meeting regulatory and audit requirements.
