Ready to take on challenges at the leading edge of geopolitics and technology, and shape the future of cloud security? Our team does this every day. We are looking for a security professional with intelligence analysis experience, and expertise in geopolitical and security risk management to join us.

This role is non-technical, but in order to be effective you’ll need to pursue, acquire, and grow foundational cloud and related AWS technical and business knowledge.
