Proven ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and drive complex, multi-quarter research projects from initial concept through to clear, delivered impact. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of successfully collaborating with cross-functional teams (e.g Product, Engineering, Marketing) to achieve shared goals. ADVANTAGE Specialized knowledge or research experience in AI security, focusing on risks to AI as deployed in the enterprise.
