  • Experience building and scaling security programs from the ground up, particularly in product-focused environments or industries with stringent security requirements.
  • Strong knowledge of industry security standards and regulations (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST, GDPR), with proven experience ensuring product compliance.
  • Proven ability to lead organizational change, especially in implementing new security processes within product teams.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, particularly in a product context.
