Our mission is to help organizations unlock the power of inspirational communication with the first AI-native Employee Experience Platform .

Our information security program is fit for purpose and operationally sound. The next chapter is about making it investor-ready, AI-efficient, and capable of sustaining enterprise customer trust at scale.

This is not a build-from-scratch role. It is a step up in maturity: fewer manual processes and sharper governance.

The position sits at the center of the InfoSec team; you coordinate across teams, own outcomes and represent the function. You are comfortable being the person customers and auditors talk to.

You think in programs and systems, not tasks. You identify where manual effort can be replaced by tooling or AI-assisted workflows, and are empowered to drive that change as we build out our AI-driven operating model across the company.

What you’ll be doing

You will act as the senior deputy for InfoSec within our Finance & Operations department, owning the function day-to-day, representing it internally and externally, and making it run with less friction and more intelligence.

You report directly to the SVP Business Operations & Transformation and work closely with Legal, Procurement, Engineering, external auditors and enterprise customers.

You will own;

Compliance & Audit

Customer Trust

Risk & Vendor Security
