• Relevant certifications (CISSP, CEH, or similar) are highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills able to translate technical risk into clear, actionable understanding.
• High attention to detail and a proactive, investigative mindset.
• A team‑oriented approach and the confidence to influence decisions across the organisation.
