• Identify and escalate bottlenecked reviews or overdue security fixes to relevant leads to prevent potential launch delays.

• Basic understanding of New Product Introduction (NPI) workflows or technical product release cycles.
• General familiarity with cybersecurity principles, vulnerability management, or tracking technical findings (you do not need to be a hands-on security engineer, but you must understand risk terminology).
