Why this role is remarkable
- This is a high-leverage ownership role where you define the security culture at a fast-scaling startup backed by elite investors like Lachy Groom and Moonfire.
- You will work at the cutting edge of AI, using agentic tools to automate policy drafting, evidence collection, and security questionnaire responses rather than manual toil.
