About the Role
The Company is on the lookout for a visionary Head of Information Security to lead and grow its security team, focusing on safeguarding customers, employees, and partners across various systems. You will play a critical role in defining the security strategy, implementing solid security measures, and fostering an environment where innovation thrives alongside robust security. This important position requires a balanced mix of strategic insight and hands-on expertise. You will set the direction for security initiatives, manage budgets effectively, oversee audits and certifications, and actively engage in the technical realm, including architecture reviews and incident response.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in information security—at least 10 years of experience, with a minimum of 3 years in a leadership position within a SaaS or technology company. A profound understanding of security frameworks and standards, along with experience in incident response, threat modeling, and risk assessment is crucial. Collaboration with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams will be essential to ensure security is seamlessly integrated into the company’s structures and processes.
If you excel at communication and possess a balanced, business-first mindset, we encourage you to apply. This role offers the opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment and to significantly enhance the organization’s security posture.
