Director, Forward Deployed Security

Turn ambiguous security needs into well-scoped programs with explicit goals, priorities, dependencies, owners, success measures, and decision paths. Ensure alignment with CISO-mandated governance processes, including quarterly risk reviews, third-party risk, and PIR governance. Partner deeply with engineering, architecture, product, and security leaders to identify risks, resolve planning misalignment, and drive technically sound decisions through delivery and adoption. Build and improve the operating mechanisms behind security reviews, roadmap execution, risk prioritization, telemetry, and remediation so the organization can scale without adding unnecessary friction. Use customer feedback, security telemetry, incident learning, exposure data, and other evidence to guide experiments, influence investment decisions, and continuously improve the portfolio. Apply AI and automation to research, planning, analysis, and workflow orchestration while setting standards for validation, traceability, escalation, and responsible human judgment. Establish patterns for security program management across forward-deployed divisions, setting clear objectives and improving execution quality.
