About the role

Senior security leader to run Product Security, partnering with the Director of Security. Owns how Security operates with a risk-led program, guides engineering teams on security health, and drives incident management, vendor/access decisions, and quarterly posture reporting. Lead a team of security engineers and act as incident manager of record, while expanding security practices across the division.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the portfolio of your team's work, appropriately managing everyone's time and assigning them to the highest priority work.
  • Help your team and the engineering organization make sense of, and simplify, how security work gets done: who owns what, what is automated, and what Security stops doing.
  • Guide product engineering teams in owning their own security health: findings route to them with mapped severity, Security reviews and validates rather than fixes, and each team sees its security health in its own service review.
  • Own the wiring and routing of security findings and requests, driving down noise and the human-decision rate across intake, triage, and review.
  • Serve as incident manager of record for security incidents: first escalation for our service-level commitments, delegated approver for vendor and access decisions, and cover for the Director's operational duties.
  • Publish posture: monthly service-level attainment to engineering, quarterly posture to the executive team, and a risk register that drives priorities.

Qualifications

  • - 5+ years of experience in a formal security or engineering management role, including managing senior engineers.
  • - Experience moving a security function from gatekeeper to team ownership, with measurable results.
  • - Experience as incident manager for security incidents at a SaaS company, including external communication.
  • - Experience guiding teams through technical tradeoffs and developing senior engineers' careers.
  • - The ability to track and drive metrics, and the wisdom to understand what they can and can't tell you.
  • - Familiarity with AWS security at scale and with external audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP) as a participant or control owner.
  • - Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • - A thoughtful, empathetic approach to leadership and collaboration.
