Vice President Of Security
Leads the security organization, defines long-term strategy to protect health data and enable AI innovation, builds scalable security architecture, and partners with engineering/data science on secure-by-design practices. Requires healthcare security experience, AWS/cloud expertise, and SOC 2 leadership.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead a high-impact security organization, including future GRC, SecOps, and AI-focused security capabilities.
- Design and evolve a security architecture that protects sensitive health data while enabling rapid product development.
- Partner deeply with Engineering and Data Science teams to embed secure-by-design principles into architecture and the SDLC.
- Establish clear ownership, accountability, and measurable security outcomes across the organization.
- Lead the implementation of strong identity, access, and data protection strategies grounded in least-privilege and thoughtful segmentation.
- Oversee cloud security (AWS), infrastructure hardening, and corporate device management strategy, including logging, monitoring, and incident response capabilities.
- Partner closely with our Head of AI to strengthen governance and proactively address emerging risks across LLM-powered workflows and AI-enabled products.
- Lead SOC 2 Type 2 efforts and guide the organization toward HITRUST certification.
- Support enterprise sales through security diligence, security and AI questionnaires, and customer conversations.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and, as needed, the Board of Directors on security strategy and risk.
Requirements
- Built and scaled security programs in healthcare or other regulated, sensitive-data environments, establishing clear accountability and measurable risk reduction.
- Developed and implemented modern cloud security architectures, particularly within AWS.
- Strengthened identity and access management practices, data protection strategies, and secure SDLC processes.
- Led or owned SOC 2 programs (HITRUST exposure is a plus, but not required).
- Influenced engineering leadership and product strategy to reduce meaningful risk without slowing product velocity.
- Navigated ambiguity in high-growth startup environments and built systems designed to scale.
- Established credibility as both a strategic leader and hands-on technical contributor.
What Leads to Success
- A patient-first approach. You understand that protecting sensitive health data is a fundamental responsibility tied directly to our mission.
- Technical depth. You bring strong expertise in cloud security, IAM, secure architecture, and modern AI risk landscapes - engineers trust your judgment and seek your input early.
- Cross-functional leader. You collaborate well across departments, aligning security decisions with company priorities and shared goals.
- Balanced risk judgement. You create clarity around tradeoffs, reduce meaningful risk without creating unnecessary friction, and help the organization move forward towards improving patient care with cutting edge technology.
- Builder mindset. You’ve built teams and systems from the ground up and know how to scale them thoughtfully.
- Comfort with ambiguity. You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments where priorities shift quickly.
