About the role
Connected products run the world: vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, critical infrastructure. The companies that build them face a wave of regulation, from the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Radio Equipment Directive to FDA premarket cybersecurity requirements and new U.S. supply chain rules. Few of them have a product security program built for it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of professional experience, including at least 5 in consulting or advisory work at a professional services firm (Big Four, federal consulting, or a cybersecurity or regulatory consultancy), with a record of leading client engagements
- Cybersecurity program experience, with enough grasp of binary analysis, SBOMs, vulnerability management, and reachability to hold your own with engineers. You won't be doing the testing
- Working depth in at least one of our core areas: automotive, IoT, industrial, or healthcare, including the regulations and standards that govern it. You can read a regulation or standard and turn it into requirements and product implications
- Discipline in running engagements: work breakdown structures, milestone schedules, status reporting, risk and action tracking, and raising problems early
- Writing and presence fit for executives. You can brief a VP of Engineering, a General Counsel, and a board in the same week, in writing and in the room
- An AI-native way of working: LLMs and agentic tools as force multipliers, with clear judgment about what a person must verify
