• Own remediation tracking, validation, and closure of cloud security findings in collaboration with application owners and DevOps teams. 
• Support implementation and validation of cloud security controls including IAM, network security, encryption, logging, and monitoring. 
• Participate in cloud architecture and design reviews to ensure security-by-design and Zero Trust principles are applied. 
• Support compliance activities aligned with CIS benchmarks, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and internal security standards. 
• Maintain operational documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and runbooks for cloud security processes. 
• Assist in audit evidence collection, reporting, and remediation validation for internal and external audits. 
• Contribute to cloud security dashboards, metrics, and reporting for operational and leadership visibility. 
• Support development and enhancement of automation and scripting for cloud security baselines and controls.
