Designs and enforces end-user notification (EUN), coaching, and justification workflows that balance control effectiveness against user friction and productivity impact. Builds automation and integrations via REST APIs, SIEM/SOAR pipelines, and CI/CD to reduce manual effort in policy deployment, incident enrichment, and reporting. Defines and reports program metrics — coverage, detection efficacy, false positive rate, mean time to triage, and policy drift — to security leadership. Evaluates emerging data security technologies.

Demonstrated experience leading an endpoint security agent migration or consolidation at enterprise scale. 4+ years of scripting and automation experience (Python, PowerShell, Shell) for endpoint policy management, reporting, and API-driven integration. 3+ years working with security telemetry and SIEM platforms (Elastic, Splunk, or equivalent) for endpoint DLP incident analysis and reporting. Proficiency in JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow, and Agile/Scrum delivery. Preferred Experience with Microsoft Purview Information Protection, sensitivity labeling, and Microsoft 365 oversharing remediation. Experience implementing data controls for GenAI and LLM usage, including prompt and upload inspection. Familiarity with UEBA and insider risk analytics platforms.
