• Align stakeholders across engineering, product, support, and business teams on priorities, tradeoffs, and delivery plans.
• Ensure appropriate auditing, reporting, and observability for authentication workflows and related controls.
• Assess risks and identify opportunities to strengthen authentication processes and password-related controls.
• Collaborate with vendors, consultants, and industry peers to stay informed about authentication and credential management technologies.
