• Create infrastructure security product awareness and enablement content (e.g., intranet posts, emails, FAQs, job aids, quick reference guides) that reinforces secure behaviors and improves user experience

• Work independently in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple requests and deadlines while maintaining high quality, attention to detail, and appropriate handling of sensitive information
