Halcyon

6d • $200,000 - $250,000 • Remote

About The Position

The Field CISO is a customer-facing executive who serves as a trusted security advisor to prospects, customers, and partners. The role bridges security leadership and go-to-market strategy, helping accelerate revenue and strengthen market credibility by translating complex security challenges into clear business outcomes. Unlike an internal CISO, this position does not manage internal security operations; it focuses on enabling sales success and building trust with executive stakeholders.

The Field CISO partners with Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to support pipeline growth and successful customer outcomes. The position also represents Halcyon in customer and market-facing engagements, develops relationships with security executives, and shares actionable insights that inform go-to-market strategy, pricing, and positioning.
