- Perform a comprehensive Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment and define a 12-to-24-month security roadmap.
- Ensure continuous knowledge transfer to internal IT and infrastructure teams.
- Compile a comprehensive Transition Playbook to guarantee a smooth ramp-up for the incoming permanent CISO.

- Regulatory & Frameworks: Deep knowledge of NIS2 requirements paired with a strong mastery of standard security frameworks (ISO 27001/2, NIST, CIS, or equivalent).
- Solid experience securing hybrid environments, specifically Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, active directory, on-premises systems, and cloud infrastructures.
- Proven ability to review complex network/system architectures and communicate security design requirements to engineering teams.
- Excellent communication, active listening, and "popularization" skills (ability to explain complex technical vulnerabilities in simple, risk-based business terms).
