Beyond the technical and program experience, we are looking for a leader with the human qualities that make a security team effective. You lead with integrity, communicate clearly, and bring empathy to your team, the engineers we partner with, and the customers whose trust we hold. You are deeply curious about how systems work and how they break, and you pair that curiosity with a strong bias to action and ownership of outcomes. You stay calm under pressure, and you approach feedback - both giving and receiving it - with humility and a willingness to grow. Security is a team sport, and the right leader sets that tone every day.
