About the role

- ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES - Present the security program to Tier 1 FIs.
- Turn security questionnaires from a deal-blocking bottleneck into a days-not-weeks motion. - Enable AI in the back office.
Responsibilities
- Lead security reviews, due-diligence cycles, and architecture deep-dives with CISO orgs, third-party risk teams, and their auditors.
- Enable AI in the back office. Partner with product and engineering to launch Eisen's AI features inside Tier 1 financial institutions - defining the controls, data handling, and review processes that let banks say yes to AI in their compliance workflows.
- Own identity and access. Service accounts, IAM, RBAC, and privilege escalation across production - least privilege, time-bound, immediate offboarding.
- Own third-party risk. Evaluate, onboard, and continuously monitor every vendor and sub-processor that touches Eisen or customer data. Hold the supply chain to the same bar.
- Ensure recovery and auditability. Design DR so no failure, incident, or human error causes irreversible loss; define RPO/RTO for every critical system and prove the numbers through restore testing. Make every security-relevant action attributable.
- Own incident response. Detection, response, customer notification, and post-mortem. Be the person who runs the room when something goes wrong, and the person FIs trust to tell them the truth quickly.
