About the Role

We're looking for a seasoned security leader with 8–9 years of experience to own and scale our enterprise security program. You'll set the strategic direction for information security and cyber risk, build board-level trust in our security posture, and lead a team through a period of rapid growth and technology transformation — including securing the AI systems now central to our product. This role blends governance and strategy with genuine hands-on depth: you'll be as comfortable presenting risk themes to the board as you are stress-testing an LLM for prompt injection.

What You'll Do

Strategy & Governance

- Lead enterprise-wide Information Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) initiatives — policy, standards, and control frameworks.
- Build board-level visibility into security posture, priorities,



governance maturity, and enterprise risk themes.
- Ensure alignment with applicable regulations, standards, and audit requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIST, CMMC/FedRAMP as applicable).

Cloud, Application & Infrastructure Security
- Own cloud security posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP — including CNAPP, CSPM, and workload protection for cloud-native and containerized environments.
- Embed security into the SDLC through DevSecOps practices: SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, and secure code review gates in CI/CD pipelines.
- Lead security initiatives spanning cloud, application, infrastructure, and data protection, plus broader cyber resilience.
- Own identity and access strategy — least-privilege access, MFA, and privileged access management (PAM).

Security Operations & Risk
- Strengthen security operations through automation, proactive threat detection (SIEM/XDR), incident response, and vu
