• Maintain awareness of emerging threats, security technologies, and compliance requirements relevant to Accordion’s business and clients
• Design and implement security policies, standards, and guidelines for development best practices tailored to Accordion’s and our client’s risk profile and industry frameworks (including GDPR, HIPAA, SOC, SOX, and PCI)
• Consistently support Security services firmwide as Accordion grows and scales

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively advise technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills suited to a collaborative, team-driven environment
• Security certifications (CISSP, CEH, OSCP, or similar)—strongly preferred but not mandatory; demonstration of practical expertise in both security and development/programming is most critical
• Prior exposure to consulting, training, or facilitating cross-functional security workshops is a plus
