About the Role

The Company is seeking its first Chief Information Security Officer to lead security strategy and operations across its business. The role combines hands-on security leadership with building AI-driven systems to map, test, monitor, and audit the organization’s technology environment. Responsibilities include incident response, cloud and identity security, vendor risk, platform and account protection, phishing and impersonation defense, policy and audit readiness, and developing the security team. The CISO will also establish standards for secure AI use and agent deployments, oversee detection and logging, and brief executives on risks and security posture. Candidates should have 10+ years of security experience, including at least three years leading a security function at an organization of 100 or more people. They must have led live incident responses, built or rebuilt a security program, and be experienced with AI agents and AI-specific risks. Hands-on expertise in cloud security, identity and access management, SIEM, endpoint and email security, and scripting or automation is required. Experience in crypto, fintech, or another high-fraud industry, along with strong communication, documentation, and team leadership skills, is essential; experience with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and relevant security certifications is an advantage.
