You will work at the intersection of mergers and acquisitions security engineering and enterprise infrastructure giving you a vantage point into security challenges that most teams never see.

A day in the life
You might start the morning facilitating a cross-functional design review to evaluate whether an existing security solution can close a newly identified gap or whether a new approach is needed. After lunch you could be writing an investment narrative to transition a validated solution to its long-term owner. When an active acquisition closes you may step in as the integration TPM - coordinating security workstreams across engineering infrastructure and the acquired business to drive Day 1 readiness and post-close milestones. No two days look the same; the program spans concurrent initiatives at different lifecycle stages and you keep them all moving forward.
