• Grow the people on the team, not just the backlog
• Stay technical enough to be useful in a review

What they ask for:

• Has led security work, formally or not
• Deep offensive or defensive background
• Can talk to a board and to an engineer in the same afternoon

Nice to have:

• Built a team from scratch
• Regulated industry experience
