Field CISO

Sprinto is an Autonomous Trust Platform that centralizes trust requirements across security frameworks, vendors, and customers. Sprinto autonomously executes tasks needed to maintain trust across compliance, audits, risk management, vendor risk, privacy, and AI governance, enabling organizations to maintain a strong, reliable trust posture without draining operational bandwidth and resources on repetitive tasks. Backed by top-tier investors such as Accel, Elevation, and Blume Ventures, we’ve raised $31.8M in funding to fuel our mission. Trusted by over 4,000 organizations across 75 countries , Sprinto helps organizations stay audit-ready, manage real-time risks, and scale fearlessly. With 300+ native integrations and AI-driven automation, Sprinto supports 200+ global security standards natively , including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more. Sprinto’s extensible architecture enables organizations to build and support an infinite number of custom integrations and frameworks. Founded in 2020 by second-time founders Girish Redekar and Raghuveer Kancherla, Sprinto powers compliance for organizations like Whatfix, Encora, Anaconda, Whatnot, Ultrahuman, WeWork, Everstage, AI Foundation, HackerRank, and many more. Life as a Sprinter - Nobody succeeds at Sprinto by staying in their lane. We are organized around problems, not job titles. Sprinters take ownership beyond their role, solve hard problems, and care deeply about the impact they create. If something can be improved, fixed, or built, we don’t wait for permission; we step in. Being remote means we rely less on proximity and more on trust. We write things down, communicate openly, and move quickly because great teams aren’t built by sitting together, they’re built by pulling in the same direction. We believe progress beats perfection, feedback is a gift, and doing the right thing matters, even when nobody is watching. And while we move with urgency, we never move alone. The mission - This is Sprinto’s first dedicated Field CISO hire in the US. You are not walking into a built function. You are building the market-facing security and compliance voice from scratch - with full access to the founders, the GTM team, and the product roadmap. This is a marketing and thought leadership role. You make every Sprinto channel more credible, more attended, and more influential - because the voice behind it is a practitioner, not a vendor. Every roundtable you run, every stage you speak from, every webinar you anchor - you own the prospect experience. The scope runs from the first piece of content to the narratives & depth in all Sprinto content. Where you’ll leave your mark? Take the Autonomous Trust thesis to market - together - Sprinto has built the product and defined the category. You bring the platform to carry the thesis publicly - at events, in content, on stage, in every conversation that shapes how enterprise CISOs think about compliance. We build the narrative. You carry it into rooms we cannot reach alone. Show up at the industry’s biggest stages as Sprinto’s practitioner voice - When we walk into RSA, ISACA, or a regional CISO summit, we walk in as participants in the conversation - not vendors looking for a slot. Your point of view on stage is how we earn that position. Together we make sure Sprinto is never just a name on a booth. Build the rooms where CISOs talk openly - Webinars and roundtables only work when the right person anchors them. You bring the practitioner credibility that makes a CISO clear their calendar. We bring the platform and the agenda. Together we create conversations where CISOs share what they actually need - and the pipeline follows naturally. Put a practitioner’s fingerprint on everything we publish - Our content team has the reach and the production. You have the voice that turns good content into content CISOs forward. We write together, you shape the thinking, and you push it through channels we do not own - your newsletter, your LinkedIn, your podcast. The audience you bring is the distribution we cannot manufacture from scratch. Deepen the advisory board into a real community - We have built relationships with some of the most respected security leaders in the market. You deepen them - not as a coordinator, but as a peer. The more substantively you engage, the more the advisory board compounds into events, content, and deals none of us could run alone. Walk into deals at different stages where needed - Early in a prospect conversation, you help them see what their compliance program could look like when the detection-remediation gap closes. You are not pitching - you are workshopping. You sit with their reality, map it against the Autonomous Trust model, and help them arrive at the vision themselves. By the time a deal reaches the final room, you have already shaped how they think about the problem. When a CISO-level objection surfaces late, you walk back in as a peer and move it. Sales closes. The work you did upstream is why it lands. The kind of builder we’re looking for - 10+ years in security leadership; you have held a CISO, Deputy CISO, or senior advisory role and know what that job actually demands Savvy with Compliance implementations for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and FedRAMP - you use these in conversation, not on slides A track record of engaging enterprise CISOs as a peer, not as a vendor representative Comfort with commercial accountability - you have owned numbers before or you are ready to Simplify complex thesis and ideas into simpler and readable chunks. You are not a vendor with a blog. You are a practitioner with a thesis. Bring original thinking on where the CISO’s office is headed - Autonomous Trust is part of that story, not the whole of it Operate independently across multiple channels with rest of the team at your disposal to enable and unlock where needed. We are open to structuring this as a full-time role or an advisory and consulting engagement - depending on what works best for everyone involved. If the fit is right, the arrangement is a conversation. How we care for our Sprinters? 100% remote Health, dental, and vision insurance Annual learning and development reimbursement Home office setup stipend Device reimbursement Inclusion & Diversity - At Sprinto, talent, curiosity, and ownership matter more than where you come from. We hire people for the problems they can solve, the impact they create, and the way they help others succeed—not their background, identity, or personal circumstances. We believe the best teams are built when people with different perspectives come together around a shared ambition to build something meaningful. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are committed to creating a fair, inclusive, and accessible hiring process for everyone. #J-18808-Ljbffr
