What You'll Be Doing

• Physical Security Innovation: Drives the strategy for introducing new security concepts and technologies into an existing, global, and expansive datacenter portfolio. Reviews of large datasets to provide greatest opportunities for improvement. Regularly partners across multiple organizations within Cloud Operations + Innovation (CO+I) to weave security requirements into the fabric of the organization. Maintains backlog of partner asks and routinely delivers monthly and quarterly results, reporting to partners on delivered efforts.
• Customer/Partner Results: Helps to make connections and assist in developing agreements among groups to clarify priorities, dependencies, and provide coordination across groups. Solicits input from customers and partners to improve security issues. Analyzes common and uncommon security issues. Uses knowledge of security in developing analytical tools. Develops and promotes effective feedback channels with partners and customers. Addresses complex security issues. Manages escalations as needed.
• Planning and Research: Influences product schedules, dependencies and risk assessments as part of security design and analysis. Creates a schedule for analysis of multiple feature areas. Creates schedule for a security analysis that proactively solicits input from multiple stakeholders. Conducts security research of Microsoft and competitor products. Identifies when numerous weaknesses in a feature area make further analysis intractably large. Works with feature team on a security push focused on addressing entire classes of findings. Establishes and delivers on objectives and key results (OKRs) for security initiatives and mentors others to set and deliver on OKRs. Identifies obstacles and adjust strategies to mitigate risks and meet business outcomes. Acts as the representative in leadership forums, communicating progress, advocating for resources, and facilitating the prioritization of work in response to emerging demands. Partners with leaders to secure and align additional resources in sync with project priorities across the organization.
