- Collaborate across ISR and decentralized teams to understand systems and workflows, driving security outcomes through strong partnerships and influence without formal authority
- Leverage advanced AI techniques (including agentic AI where appropriate) to enhance security operations while maintaining responsible use and oversight
- Contribute to architecture discussions, design reviews, and technical standards, helping shape how ISR adopts and scales AI and automation over time
