* Domain Expertise
o Apply practical knowledge of Audit, Risk Management, and IT Compliance in customer conversations.
o Leverage familiarity with industry frameworks such as COSO ERM, ISO 31000, NIST RMF, and related standards.
o Demonstrate how modern GRC platforms enable risk identification, assessment, monitoring, and mitigation at scale.
