This role suited my wide ranging skillset. The primary focus for this role was to act as a bridging point between our development team, the rest of the organization and our clients. This often had me involved in client escalations, audit requirements gathering and software procurement. Being passionate about information security, I started to take on further responsibilities and saw me working directly with our IT, Infrastructure and GRC team. This gave me hands on time with our SIEM, our Windows environments and test audit controls. The critical interpersonal skill I learned in this role was to leverage empathy more. Being empathic allowed me to gain the trust of clients and colleagues, understand other peoples perspective and encouraged more positive engagements.
