About The Role

• Lead internal security operations (including risk assessments, threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management) and monitor compliance with industry standards and regulations
• Partner with Compa’s Co-founder & CTO to develop security best practices regarding both conventional AI and generative AI
• Own Compa’s SOC2 Type 2 and third-party pen test, OSINT and social engineering tests; including vendor selection and mangement
• Maintain a high level of subject matter expertise in cybersecurity/information security, cloud computing, IT operations, IT risk management, and IT internal audit, as well as supervisory expectations, industry practices, and emerging trends in those areas
• Partner with Compa’s VP, Sales to communicate Compa’s security posture to prospects in procurement
• Partner with Compa’s Director of Marketing to communicate Compa’s security posture to the market
• Drive at least one application security project with influencing/leading/guiding Compa’s Data Products and Data Trust teams through independent execution of security and privacy projects
  
  

About You

• 5+ years of relevant IT & Security experience in a high-performing organization
• Expert-level understanding of the SaaS enterprise security regime
• Highly influential spoken and written communication with XFN leaders, technical leaders, and customers
• Track record of securing enterprise systems in production (securing AI systems is nice, not required)
• Experience at a growth-stage startup building products for enterprise
• Experience securing cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
• You have an interest in and are excited about the opportunity to grow into a Head of Security & Privacy
• Low ego, with an appetite to build, and employ good judgment in making hard trade-offs with limited resources
• It’s nice (but not required) if you have experience securing probabilistic systems (generative AI, conventional AI, ranking, recommendations, etc.)
