- Good understanding of controls and control frameworks.
- Strong stakeholder management and coordination skills, with the ability to bring multiple teams together.
- Ability to understand and engage with controls across areas such as SDLC, Cryptography and IAM/IDAM.
- Strong communication and organisational skills.

Desirable
- Previous experience working with AI Controls or AI risk.
- Understanding of Agentic AI and the types of controls required around autonomous AI systems.
