Security practices are embedded into product development and daily operations, making protection a shared discipline.
Responsibilities

- Identify gaps in security controls, develop remediation strategies, and coordinate vulnerability management and patching across IT, and cloud systems.
- Perform comprehensive security and risk assessments across infrastructure, AI implementations, and global governance frameworks.
- Overhaul and streamline our ISMS policies, converting rigid legacy frameworks into clear, workable workflows for modern engineering and business operations.
- Manage security inquiries, partner audits, and compliance obligations in collaboration with key business stakeholders.
Requirements
- Familiar with the enterprise AI attack surface.
- Hands-on threat detection and/or incident response experience, including building detections, running investigations, and improving operational playbooks.
- Understanding of regulatory requirements, personal data protection laws, and compliance standards.
- Substantial experience in turning compliance controls into policy and scalable, auditable, operations.
- Experience partnering with internal Business Process Owners to define clear security requirements and drive their practical implementation across business workflows.
- Fluent with the AI governance and compliance landscape (ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) and how it maps onto existing GRC frameworks.
