• Own the security architecture direction, including zero trust principles and secure design patterns.
• Own vulnerability and exposure management across application, cloud, and infrastructure layers.
• Oversee application security testing (SAST, DAST, SCA) and the offensive security program.
• Own cloud security posture across the estate, including CSPM, container and Kubernetes security, and IaC review.
• Own threat detection and telemetry fidelity end-to-end.

• Lead collaborative initiatives across the organization and navigate complex stakeholder relationships.
• Champion security culture across engineering and the wider business.
• Coach and mentor the team, driving a culture of learning, quality, and accountability.
• Anticipate emerging risks, including AI-related risk, and shape security strategy.

Requirements
