About the Role

Reporting to the Infrastructure Director of Engineering, this role is for a pragmatic security leader who acts as a business enabler. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-velocity, non-regulated environment, defining security standards from scratch and driving progress through planning and cross-functional partnerships. This is a technical player-coach role, managing the 'how' of engineering initiatives and providing direct guidance to a lean team. The candidate must have a proven track record of leading a team to achieve compliance with a security framework from scratch and be a data-oriented communicator who upholds a high security standard.

Responsibilities

Lead and develop a team of security engineers, acting as a technical player-coach to manage deliverables, mentorship, and continuous learning.
Lead the team through prioritization and tradeoffs to determine which initiatives provide the most meaningful impact.
Integrate foundational security tooling and automation across corporate, infrastructure, and application layers, working closely with engineering teams, IT, legal, and compliance.
Develop data-driven security strategies, including OKRs, KPIs, and roadmaps, using clear written communication to advocate for security priorities during cross-functional planning.
Manage compliance with security frameworks (e.g. CIS, SOC2, GDPR), designing sustainable controls in partnership with internal teams.
Lead pragmatic incident response efforts, focusing on investigation and resolution while continuously maturing response plans and threat modeling.
Develop and implement security strategies for AI and machine learning integrations, ensuring safe adoption while mitigating associated risks.
Drive cultural change through education, acting as a security evangelist to help cross-functional partners understand risk and own security within their respective domains.
Govern the Information Security Program, developing high-quality proposals and recommendations that align security decisions with Taskrabbit’s innovative business goals.

Requirements

5+ years of experience building and managing security teams in an agile, high-growth environment.
Proven track record of achieving a security framework from scratch (e.g., taking a company through its first SOC2 or ISO 27001 certification).
Strong technical "Player-Coach" ability, with the comfort level to dive into technical initiatives and provide direct guidance to security engineers.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for telling the "story" of security through formal proposals, strategies, and risk presentations.
Pragmatic Risk Management: Ability to handle moderate risk tolerance by focusing on business impact and customer trust rather than theoretical perfection.
Analytical and data-oriented mindset, with experience designing metrics and KPIs that demonstrate the business value of security initiatives.
Expertise in influence-based leadership, showing a history of driving security maturity in non-regulated industries through relationship building and alignment.
Deep knowledge of modern security practices, including cloud security, access controls, and secure software development, with experience leading incident response.
Extensive experience working with one or more security frameworks (e.g. CIS, SOC2) and regulatory compliance standards (e.g. GDPR).
Experience with security governance for AI/ML systems and a proactive approach to managing the risks inherent in emerging technologies.
Experience with security tooling implementation: Direct experience implementing or leading the implementation of comprehensive security tooling.
