• Establish rigor for scope, schedule, budget, risk/issue management, dependency tracking, and benefits realization across cyber programs; ensure disciplined execution and accountability.
• Build an operational metric and visualization strategy for cyber operations—defining North Star outcomes, KPIs, leading/lagging indicators, and dashboards (e.g., MTTR, incident SLA adherence, control health, vulnerability posture, identity governance).
• Standardize data sources and measurement methods; publish executive‑ready visualizations and performance reviews tied to risk posture and regulatory commitments.
• Build and run a cyber service desk that manages request intake, case routing, triage, and escalation; integrate with ITSM processes and tooling.
• Stand up exception management (documented risk acceptance/compensating controls) and consequence management processes (playbooks, enforcement actions, remediation tracking) with clear SLAs, approvals, and audit trails; align to incident and response standards.
• Lead transformation and innovation across cyber operations, evolving how teams work (automation, SOAR, AI‑assisted analytics, playbook standardization), optimizing control coverage and resilience, and embedding continuous improvement.
