The Crown Is Yours
As a Director, Information Security, you'll lead our Security Engineering and Security Operations teams to shape how we defend our platforms at scale. You'll build modern security programs grounded in automation, AI, and pragmatic risk management. You'll drive strategy, deliver key capabilities, and evolve our approach to detection, response, and resilience. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll empower technical leaders, elevate team performance, and partner closely with Engineering, Legal, IT, and Information Security leadership.
What You'll Do
Lead a high-performing team of managers and senior individual contributors; foster growth through coaching, clarity, and development planning. Provide strategic direction and mentorship to the broader InfoSec team through skip levels, feedback loops, and leadership modeling. Define and communicate KPIs to drive the program, looking across operational impact as well as technical indicators of risk and drift toward failure. Partner with InfoSec leadership on roadmap planning, prioritization, risk management, and capability development across detection, response, engineering, and investigations. Advance our adoption of AI and automation to drive quantifiable impact across security functions, both in new capabilities and latency. Collaborate with Legal, Compliance, and Audit to meet regulatory and customer expectations.
What You'll Bring
At least 10 years of progressive experience in security, including 5+ years in leadership roles with a strong emphasis on both proactive security engineering and reactive security operations. Strong technical foundation in modern enterprise and cloud environments, including what we secure (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, datacenters, IoT) and what we secure it with (SIEM, EDR, CSPM, SAST/DAST, IAM, forensics). Familiarity with industry-standard risk and compliance frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SLSA) and how to operationalize them in modern, tech-forward environments. Experience in fast-paced, high-growth companies in enterprise tech, SaaS, gaming, or other technical consumer industries like online video gaming. Executive-level communication skills, including the ability to deliver clear, timely, and actionable updates to both technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
