- Experience working within governance, compliance, audit, risk, or remediation-focused environments.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience as a Scrum Master, Application Manager, Technical Lead, Senior Developer, or similar role.
- Proven experience coordinating projects, initiatives, or cross-functional workstreams.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC), governance practices, and operational controls.
