• Drive IT incident response in concert with other InfoSec and engineering teams
• Look to drive and lead impact across the organisation to adhere to our values and consistently raise the bar
• Integrate and utilise AI tooling and continuously drive our automated no code infrastructure via tools such as Tines and Workato
