In this role, you will work hand-in-hand with our CISO and across various teams to shape how we talk to our customers about security, privacy, and compliance and provide accurate and timely information to that audience. Your positive energy and contributions will have a direct impact on our business growth as you embrace Sonar's collective intelligence mindset.

- Executive Presence: You are comfortable and experienced in working directly with senior leaders, especially a CISO. You know how to effectively communicate strategy, report on trust metrics, and give sound advice on risk.
- Extensive Multi-Domain InfoSec Expertise: You bring deep experience across several security domains, which might include GRC, Cloud Security, IAM, or Application Security. You are also very familiar with common compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR that our customers care about.
