Desired Skills and Experience

  • PCI DSS experience
  • SOC audit experience, with SOC 2 exposure preferred
  • Background in ecommerce, retail, logistics, or enterprise operational environments
  • Understanding of data privacy concepts and program development
  • Experience operating in a growing or maturing security organization
