Oversee compliance with security frameworks such as SOC2, CIS, and GDPR by designing sustainable controls.
Direct pragmatic incident response efforts, focusing on threat modeling, investigation, resolution, and plan maturation.
Create and execute security strategies for AI and machine learning integrations to ensure safe technology adoption.
Drive cultural change as a security evangelist, helping cross-functional partners understand risk and own security within their domains.
Govern the Information Security Program by drafting high-quality proposals aligned with company goals.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of experience building and managing security teams within an agile, high-growth setting.
Demonstrated track record of achieving a security framework from scratch, such as guiding a company through initial SOC2 or ISO 27001 certification.
Strong technical player-coach capabilities with the ability to provide direct guidance on technical initiatives.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting formal proposals, risk strategies, and security narratives.
Analytical mindset with expertise in designing business-value metrics and KPIs.
