As a Security Partner Lead, we'll need a masterful relationship builder and the key interface between the VPs and Directors of product management, engineering, cyber security, and compliance leadership and thoughtfully manage prioritization and escalation conversations. You own the security posture of a specific Adobe business unit by actively managing risk, using both standardized tools available from the Security team, as well as your own resourcefulness, expertise, and observations.

• Develop and maintain deep security expertise on your product portfolio and serve as a trusted advisor to leadership to improve overall product security posture.
• Fully understand and communicate the “why” of prioritized objectives to help clarify outcomes and be the strategic partner in driving and designing a business unit’s security roadmap.
• Understand and internalize the key capabilities of the Adobe security program and be the key connection point to security within a business unit, translating security’s tactical strategy to broad risk management principles.
• Make decisions on behalf of security to solve specific business risk problems.
• Continuously identify security threats, vulnerabilities, and work with product and engineering leaders to work through mitigation plans.

What You’ll Need to Succeed
