This is a hands-on role focused on preventing, detecting, and responding to threats across corporate and cloud environments, and owning the security stack. The role involves developing, maintaining, and scaling this stack across a complex multi-cloud, multi-SaaS environment, shaping its architecture, and owning the technical roadmap.

Responsibilities

Tune the detection stack, write detection logic, own triage, and get telemetry into the SIEM.
Own the endpoint security stack (EDR, DLP, secure browser, hardening) and the technical roadmap for security tooling.
Lead incident response, including readiness (playbooks and tabletops) and driving the response.
Set and confirm security standards for identity and access (MFA, SSO, SCIM lifecycle, least-privilege).
Build monitoring and reporting for identity and access management.
Run security across the portfolio, including baseline audits, ongoing monitoring, and SaaS risk management.
Own the email security and phishing awareness program.
Run vendor security reviews for new tools.

Requirements

Experience as a security manager or lead who has built a program from scratch at a larger company.
Experience with an automation-first and AI-forward approach.
Ability to set priorities independently in a fast-paced environment with a high M&A cadence.
Ability to represent security credibly to portfolio founders and engineering leads.
Deep, hands-on security engineering experience across endpoint, detection and response, identity, cloud, SaaS, and email.
Ability to build tooling and automation from scratch.
High standards for threat modeling, secure design, detection quality, and IR rigor.
Comfortable working in greenfield environments with ambiguity.
