We are seeking a thoughtful, experienced leader to oversee our entire security program. In this role, you will balance rigorous compliance standards with the agility required for a high-growth technology company. You will lead a small, high-impact team and serve as the face of security for our enterprise customers.

• Deep, hands-on experience with security frameworks (e.g., SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA) in a cloud-native environment.
• Proven ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders and customers. You should be comfortable representing the company in external meetings.
• Strong understanding of risk management principles (e.g., NIST CSF) and the ability to translate technical risks into business language.
• Solid foundation in cloud security (AWS/GCP/Azure), application security, and modern SaaS infrastructure.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a professional and approachable demeanor that invites collaboration.

Nice To Haves

• Partner with leadership and engineering to evaluate risks pragmatically. Your goal is to find "yes, but safely" solutions that allow the business to innovate while managing exposure.
• Evaluate organizational risks, prioritize remediation efforts based on real-world impact, or accept risks and exceptions on behalf of the business. Facilitate risk-based decisions.
• Lead the incident response life cycle, ensuring we have robust detection, rapid response capabilities, and clear communication protocols in place.
