• Build a culture of security that enables innovation, embedding risk-informed decision-making, shared accountability, and practical security practices across technology and business teams. 

• Lead enterprise security architecture, protecting critical systems, sensitive information, cloud environments, digital products, and third-party ecosystems while balancing protection with speed and agility. 

• Champion AI-driven security innovation, leveraging automation, advanced analytics, and emerging technologies to strengthen threat detection, improve operational efficiency, and establish responsible governance for AI and autonomous agents. 

• Drive operational resilience, overseeing threat intelligence, vulnerability management, incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity capabilities to anticipate, prevent, and respond to evolving threats. 

• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to executive leadership, translating complex cybersecurity risks into actionable insights, investment priorities, and informed business decisions. 

• Build and inspire a high-performing security organization, developing exceptional talent, strengthening cross-functional partnerships, and fostering an entrepreneurial culture of ownership, continuous learning, and measurable contribution. 

• Establish meaningful measures of success, demonstrating how cybersecurity investments reduce risk, strengthen organizational resilience, improve customer and partner trust, and enable greater business value. 

What You Will Bring

• Significant progressive leadership experience in cybersecurity, information security, or technology risk, including responsibility for enterprise-wide security strategy and execution in complex organizations. 

• Demonstrated success building, transforming, or scaling cybersecurity programs while aligning security priorities with business strategy and organizational growth. 

• Deep expertise across cybersecurity architecture, cloud security, identity and access management, threat management, incident response, data protection, and security governance. 

• Strong understanding of modern technology ecosystems, including cloud-native architectures, DevSecOps, zero-trust principles, AI security, and emerging cyber threats. 

• Executive presence and business acumen, with the ability to influence senior leaders, communicate complex risks clearly, and make sound decisions amid uncertainty. 

• An entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities, and developing innovative, practical solutions rather than relying solely on traditional security playbooks. 

• Proven ability to attract, develop, and lead exceptional teams while creating an environment of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement. 

• A principled, intellectually curious leadership approach grounded in sound judgment, humility, integrity, and a commitment to creating value for others. 

• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect. 

Standout Candidates Will Bring

• Recognized cybersecurity thought leadership, with a demonstrated ability to anticipate industry shifts, challenge conventional thinking, and influence modern security strategies. 

• Experience leading significant security transformations in high-growth, digitally sophisticated, or highly distributed organizations. 

• A track record of applying AI, intelligent automation, and advanced security engineering to fundamentally improve security capabilities and operational effectiveness. 

• Experience securing customer-facing digital platforms, complex partner ecosystems, and emerging technologies while enabling rapid product development and innovation. 

• A builder's mentality — someone who has created new capabilities, modernized legacy approaches, and delivered measurable business outcomes in environments where the path forward was not always defined. 

• The ability to operate at both strategic and technical levels, engaging credibly with executive teams while remaining close enough to the technology to challenge assumptions and guide architectural decisions. 

• A genuine connection to Stand Together's mission and an appreciation for how principled leadership, innovation, and individual initiative can drive meaningful change. 

This is an opportunity to do more than lead a security function. You will help shape how a mission-driven organization approaches trust, resilience, and innovation — building the security capabilities that enable bold ideas, empower people, and accelerate meaningful impact.
