  • Own the security risk management framework, including risk identification, scoring, acceptance, tracking, and executive reporting, supported by a maintained risk register and clear visibility into trends and remediation status. 
  • Define and track security metrics and KPIs that demonstrate program effectiveness, predictability, and maturity. 

Audit, compliance, and assurance 

  • Own audit, compliance, and assurance efforts, including SOC 2 Type I and progression to Type II, ensuring controls are implemented, evidence is maintained, and audits remain repeatable and low friction. 
  • Lead customer security questionnaires and enterprise assurance requests in partnership with Legal, IT, and Engineering. 
  • Support privacy and regulatory obligations, including GDPR, ROPA inventories, and regional data requirements. 

Cloud, application, and platform security 

  • Define and enforce security requirements for AWS infrastructure using native cloud security services and guardrails. 
  • Establish application security standards across internal and customer facing platforms, including secure SDLC practices, penetration testing, and remediation accountability. 
  • Conduct security assessments for new systems, architectures, and major platform changes. 

Identity, access, and data protection 

  • Own identity and access management strategy, including SSO, role based access, provisioning, and periodic access reviews. 
  • Establish enterprise wide data classification and data handling standards. 
  • Ensure access and data protection controls scale with growth and global expansion through partnership with IT, Engineering, and platform owners. 

Detection, response, and resilience 

  • Own detection, incident response, and resilience strategy, including playbooks, third party incident response coordination, post incident analysis, security monitoring, alerting, and continuous improvement. 
  • Support disaster recovery and business continuity planning from a security perspective, including tabletop exercises and recovery documentation. 

Security technology, automation, and remediation 

  • Own the security technology stack, including endpoint protection, vulnerability management, monitoring, and security awareness tooling. 
  • Evaluate, select, and manage security vendors for effectiveness and cost efficiency. 
  • Directly implement and remediate security controls, configurations, and tooling gaps when risk, timing, or dependency constraints require hands on execution. 
  • Leverage automation and AI assisted workflows to operate efficiently as a one person function. 
  • Determine when remediation should be executed directly versus driven through Engineering, IT, or Infrastructure, and ensure closure in all cases. 

Third party and business risk 

  • Perform vendor security reviews, ongoing third party risk monitoring, remediation tracking, and executive risk acceptance. 
  • Support security due diligence for acquisitions, integrations, and major partnerships when applicable. 

What You’ll Bring:  

  • 8+ years of experience in information security, security engineering, or security program leadership. 
  • Direct ownership of SOC 2 or comparable assurance frameworks, including implementation, remediation, and sustained operation.

  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently with high accountability and limited resources. 
  • Proven ability to define strategy while executing hands on remediation when needed. 
  • Strong judgment in prioritizing risk and making pragmatic tradeoffs aligned to business needs. 
  • Ability to communicate security risk clearly to both technical and non technical stakeholders.
