About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Monitor, interpret, and validate quantum‑related security standards and guidance, including: NIST Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC); Federal and critical‑infrastructure guidance (e.g., CISA, NSA, Executive Orders); Industry standards (e.g., ATIS, 3GPP, CBOM‑related standards)
Translate emerging quantum standards into actionable AT&T security policies, controls, and compliance criteria.
Lead updates to SISR policy to explicitly address quantum‑security and cryptographic resilience requirements.
Own the quantum security supply‑chain engagement model for AT&T.
Partner with Procurement and Risk teams to define quantum security requirements for suppliers, gather and assess quantum security roadmaps from strategic vendors and drive adoption of post‑quantum cryptography and crypto‑agility expectations within supplier contracts.
Evaluate supplier maturity related to quantum security, cryptographic posture, and long‑term migration planning.
Assess and identify opportunities for quantum innovation in alignment with AT&T’s business goals (e.g. evaluate vendor proof of concepts and proposals).
Collaborate with R&D and Product teams to ideate and launch quantum innovation products and services that align with industry gaps and AT&T IP Agility, Remediation & Innovation.
Guide PQC migration readiness and remediation planning across applications and platforms.
Identify gaps and drive innovation opportunities in quantum-safe security capabilities.
Support integration of quantum and cryptographic posture into enterprise security platforms.
Align internal and external policies related to CBOMs and supplier cryptographic visibility.
