About the Role

The Company is in search of a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to spearhead its enterprise security, cybersecurity risk, and privacy programs. The CISO will be responsible for safeguarding the company's information assets, products, and technology ecosystem while supporting growth, cloud adoption, and international expansion.
This strategic leader will be tasked with translating cybersecurity, privacy, compliance, and technology risk into business decisions and will be expected to have a strong executive presence, practical execution, and the ability to lead through influence.





The role involves developing and implementing security strategies, policies, and control frameworks, as well as establishing security priorities that align with business goals and risk appetite.

The ideal candidate for the CISO position at the company will have a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, with 8-10 years' experience in information security, cybersecurity, or related disciplines, and at least 5 years in an executive or senior leadership role.
Experience in HIPAA compliance, AI security, and a strong understanding of cloud and SaaS operating models are essential. The CISO will also be responsible for security operations, incident response, and building a security-conscious culture within the organization.

The role requires a leader who is a team-oriented partner, a calm and decisive decision-maker, and who can effectively manage security budgets, and vendors, and lead complex cross-functional programs.
