is looking for a Head of Proactive Security to establish and lead the Proactive Security pillar. Reporting directly to the CISO, this leader will manage the Red Team, Penetration Testing, Threat Hunting, and Threat Intelligence teams.  
The role is responsible for anticipating relevant threats, challenging 's defenses, identifying exploitable weaknesses, hunting for adversary activity that may evade existing controls, and converting findings into measurable security improvements.  
This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who combines offensive-security depth, threat-led thinking, strong operational judgment, and the ability to influence product, engineering, infrastructure, and security stakeholders.  
 
Your responsibilities will include:  
Pillar strategy and leadership   Define the Proactive Security strategy, operating model, roadmap, priorities, budget, and success measures in alignment with 's business objectives and threat profile.  
Build, lead, and develop high-performing Red Team, Penetration Testing, Threat Hunting, and Threat Intelligence teams.  
Create a unified intelligence-led program in which threat intelligence informs testing and hunting, and findings continuously improve defensive controls.  
Prioritize work based on crown jewels, material attack paths, emerging threats, major technology changes, incidents, and business risk.  
Establish clear team charters, engagement models, escalation paths, quality standards, and career-development frameworks.  
Provide the CISO and senior leadership with clear visibility into adversary exposure, validated weaknesses, emerging threats, and remediation progress.  
Red Team and adversary emulation  
Lead realistic, intelligence-led adversary simulations across cloud, identity, applications, infrastructure, endpoints, networks, and operational processes.  
Design campaigns that evaluate prevention, detection, response, escalation, and recovery capabilities against relevant threat scenarios.  
Develop and maintain adversary-emulation plans mapped to relevant threat actors, tactics, techniques, and procedures.  
Ensure every engagement operates under documented authorization, rules of engagement, safety controls, deconfliction procedures, and evidence-handling requirements.  
Deliver concise technical and executive reporting that explains demonstrated impact, attack paths, root causes, and prioritized improvements.  
Penetration testing and continuous security validation  
Own the risk-based penetration-testing program for products, applications, APIs, cloud environments, infrastructure, and critical internal systems.  
Define testing standards, scoping criteria, methodologies, quality assurance, retesting, and reporting requirements.  
Coordinate internal testing and specialized external providers while maintaining consistent quality and risk prioritization.  
Partner with Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Security teams to integrate testing into major launches, architectural changes, and high-risk initiatives.  
Track findings through validation, remediation, exception, and closure, and identify systemic or recurring weakness patterns.  
Expand automation and continuous validation where it improves coverage without replacing expert-led testing and judgment.  
Threat hunting  
Establish a hypothesis-driven threat-hunting program across endpoint, identity, cloud, network, workload, application, and SaaS telemetry.  
Prioritize hunts using threat intelligence, incidents, environmental changes, control gaps, and emerging adversary techniques.  
Search for active, historical, or previously undetected malicious behavior that may not trigger existing alerts.  
Turn validated hunt findings into new detections, telemetry requirements, response playbooks, hardening actions, and future hunt hypotheses.  
Define repeatable hunt methodology, documentation standards, evidence handling, and measurement of hunt effectiveness.  
Partner closely with Detection and Response, Incident Response, Security Engineering, and infrastructure teams during investigations and remediation.  
Threat intelligence  
Own 's threat-intelligence strategy, collection priorities, analysis standards, dissemination model, and intelligence lifecycle.  
Maintain a current view of threat actors, campaigns, vulnerabilities, geopolitical developments, and techniques relevant to , its customers, and its technology stack.  
Produce strategic intelligence for leadership, operational intelligence for defenders, and tactical intelligence that supports detections, investigations, hunting, and testing.  
Translate intelligence into clear changes to security priorities, control coverage, red-team scenarios, hunt hypotheses, and incident readiness.  
Establish reliable processes for source evaluation, confidence assessment, intelligence sharing, and secure handling of sensitive information.  
Build trusted relationships with industry peers, relevant communities, vendors, and information-sharing organizations.  
Defensive improvement and governance  
Create a closed-loop process that converts proactive-security findings into owned, prioritized, and measurable remediation actions.  
Partner with Security Engineering, Detection and Response, Product Security, Cloud Security, IT, and Engineering to improve controls and reduce repeat findings.  
Ensure material findings are communicated promptly, tracked transparently, and escalated according to risk.  
Define reporting that distinguishes activity from outcomes and demonstrates improvements in resilience, coverage, and adversary readiness.  
Support major incidents with threat context, attack-path analysis, hunting, and specialist offensive expertise when required.  
Maintain strong legal, ethical, privacy, and operational-safety standards across all proactive-security activities.  
 
We expect you to have:  
Extensive cybersecurity experience, including leadership responsibility in offensive security, penetration testing, threat hunting, threat intelligence, detection engineering, or incident response.
Proven experience building or scaling multidisciplinary security teams and programs, including budgets, vendors, and external testing providers.
Strong technical understanding of modern cloud environments, identity systems, applications, APIs, networks, endpoints, containers, and production infrastructure.
Demonstrated experience planning and delivering red-team operations, penetration tests, or adversary-emulation exercises.
Practical knowledge of threat-hunting methodology, telemetry, detection logic, and investigation workflows.
Experience producing and operationalizing strategic, operational, and tactical threat intelligence.
Strong understanding of adversary behavior and frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK.
Excellent communication and executive-presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical findings into clear business risks, decisions, and remediation actions.
Sound judgment regarding authorization, operational safety, confidentiality, evidence handling, and responsible disclosure.  
 
It will be an added bonus if you have:  
Experience in cloud, hyperscale, AI, or other highly distributed technology environments.
Deep domain expertise, relevant certifications or equivalent practical experience, and a track record of responsible research or industry collaboration.
