The Senior Director, Cyber Trust Enablement leads the strategy and execution of programs that operationalize the organization's security strategy across product, engineering, IT, and business functions.

• Define and lead the enterprise security enablement and awareness strategy, aligned to trust, risk, and business priorities
• Develop programs that improve associate understanding of security risks, responsibilities, and expected behaviors
• Position security as a foundational element of customer trust, transparency, and operational excellence
• Lead the creation of security awareness campaigns, content, and resources that are engaging, practical, and audience-appropriate for technical and non-technical associates
• Translate complex security and risk topics into clear, human-centered language accessible to all levels of the organization

• Support incident-related communications by enabling clear, calm, and coordinated associate guidance when needed

Measurement & Continuous Improvement

• Define success metrics for communications, engagement, and awareness programs (e.g., adoption, comprehension, behavior change, content quality) and establish a regular reporting cadence
• Analyze performance data and audience feedback to refine content, cadence, and delivery approaches across all communication streams
• Continuously improve program efficiency, quality, and time-to-value through simplification, modernization, and data-driven decision-making
