About the role

We are seeking an AVP of Product Security, reporting directly to the Chief Information Security Officer.
This holistic approach means you set the direction and you get the data to steer by, with ownership over the environment.
Shift security left into product and engineering to reduce risk and cost, so that fewer issues surface late in the release cycle where remediation is most expensive.

Establish secure by design standards and the target state security architecture across product development, covering threat modeling, secure design review, secure SDLC, and vulnerability management.
Build a formal vulnerability management program encompassing both traditional vulnerability management and AI.
Define security architecture patterns that drive clarity with the business and enable the right guardrails.
Own risk based prioritization, remediation SLAs, and executive reporting for enterprise vulnerability management.
Provide senior technical leadership and create clear, consistent standards across Product, Engineering, and Security.
Build proactive security leadership and trusted partnerships across Product, Engineering, and Security teams.
Recruit, develop, and lead a strong team of product security engineers and security architects.
This leader will drive security into product development.
You will drive the approach, patterns, and engagement that embed security through design standards, threat modeling, and automated processes.
The AVP of Product Security will own security architecture and vulnerability management.

Experience securing agentic AI systems or AI enabled products in production.
Familiarity with identity security, Active Directory, and Entra ID.
Experience supporting compliance programs such as FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST frameworks.
Relevant certifications (CISSP, CSSLP, SABSA, TOGAF).
10+ years of information security experience, including 5+ years leading product security, security architecture, and/or vulnerability management functions.
Hands on experience implementing AI and ML security controls.
A track record of influencing at the executive level and driving alignment across Product, Engineering, and Security organizations.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate technical risk into clear business terms that enable decisions.
