- Support implementation of enterprise exposure routing models that direct findings to remediation teams, vendors, governance processes, or formal risk acceptance workflows.
- Develop dashboards, analytics, and reporting that measure exposure prioritization effectiveness, routing accuracy, ownership attribution, exposure aging, and overall attack surface risk.
- Collaborate with Enterprise Vulnerability Remediation, Infrastructure Operations, Cloud Engineering, Product Security, and business stakeholders to improve remediation prioritization and reduce exposure dwell time.
- Identify opportunities to automate exposure correlation, prioritization, enrichment, routing, and reporting through security orchestration and workflow automation.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship regarding exposure management methodologies, threat-informed prioritization, attack surface analysis, and emerging exposure management technologies.
- Support development of executive metrics and outcome-driven reporting that demonstrate measurable reduction in enterprise cyber exposure.
