Security Director

You will own security end to end: strategy and execution, both. You inherit a working program, with an annual SOC 2 Type II audit, an established tool stack, and clear vendor-gating rules already in place. You will work closely with our Application Architect, our IT team, Legal, and engineering leads across Israel, the US and the UK. The role reports to a member of the executive team.

This is a player-coach role. One week you present the annual risk review to management; the next you are pulling audit evidence, tuning a cloud alert rule, or reading a vendor's risk scan yourself. If you need a large team under you to be effective, this is probably not the right fit. If you like owning the whole problem, it is a good one.

What you will do:

Own the annual SOC 2 Type II audit end to end: controls, evidence collection, external auditors and consultants. The bar we hold ourselves to is zero deviations.
Run supply-chain security: vendor risk assessments and security questionnaires, gating rules for new vendors, and contract security terms together with Legal. We do not onboard vendors without SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and critical findings block the deal.
Own application security with runtime-context prioritization: focus engineering on what is actually exploitable in production, and filter out the scanner noise.
Run day-to-day security operations: cloud security posture across AWS and GCP, EDR, email security, identity and zero-trust access, alert triage and remediation follow-up with the owning teams.
Manage the annual penetration-testing program: scoping, vendor selection, findings triage and remediation tracking with R&D.
Own incident response: keep the plan current, run it when needed, and handle notification duties toward our cyber insurer.
Run the security awareness program and the security portion of employee onboarding.
Manage the security budget, tool renewals and vendor relationships.
Set governance for AI tools used across the company: usage guidelines, risk registers, and security review of new AI vendors.
