Responsibilities

Reporting to the Infrastructure Director of Engineering, you are a pragmatic security leader who acts as a business enabler rather than a gatekeeper. You thrive in a high-velocity, non-regulated environment where you must define "what good looks like" from scratch and drive security progress with a blend of strong planning skills and strong cross-functional partnerships.
You are a technical player-coach who manages the "how" behind engineering initiatives, providing direct guidance to a lean team which needs to navigate trade-offs between quality, depth, and delivery volume. You are just as comfortable planning core initiatives as you are writing a proposal for security program improvements. You have a proven track record of leading a team to achieve compliance with a security framework from scratch (e.g., CIS, SOC2, PCI-DSS, ISO27001). Above all, you are a data-oriented communicator who uses relationship building to hold our security bar to a high standard for our customers and partners.
Lead and develop a team of security engineers, acting as a technical player-coach to manage deliverables, mentorship, and continuous learning. Lead the team through prioritization and tradeoffs to determine which initiatives provide the most meaningful impact.
Integrate foundational security tooling and automation across corporate, infrastructure, and application layers. Working closely with engineering teams, IT, legal and compliance.
Develop data-driven security strategies, including OKRs, KPIs, and roadmaps, using clear written communication to advocate for security priorities during cross-functional planning.
Manage compliance with security frameworks (e.g. CIS, SOC2, GDPR), designing sustainable controls in partnership with internal teams.
Lead pragmatic incident response efforts, focusing on investigation and resolution while continuously maturing our response plans and threat modeling.
Develop and implement security strategies for AI and machine learning integrations, ensuring safe adoption while mitigating associated risks.
Drive cultural change through education, acting as a security evangelist to help cross-functional partners understand risk and own security within their respective domains.
Govern the Information Security Program, developing high-quality proposals and recommendations that align security decisions with Taskrabbit’s innovative business goals.
Your Areas Of Expertise:
5+ years of experience building and managing security teams in an agile, high-growth environment.
