- Reporting: visualise progress and value (burn?up, control coverage) and maintain a tight feedback loop with the Key Product Owner.
Requirements
-
5+ years as PO/BA in network/security domains; excellent story writing and backlog hygiene.
-
Comfortable with config/policy artefacts (firewall baselines, ISE/NAC policy, DDI plans, proxy/ZTNA, SIEM rules).
-
ITIL change fluency; ServiceNow request/change models.
-
Preferred Certifications
-
PSPO / CSPO; ITIL 4 Foundation; vendor fundamentals in one or more stacks (Cisco/Zscaler/Fortinet/Splunk/Infoblox/Forescout).
