  • Security Foundation: Proven experience configuring and managing EDR systems and implementing DLP policies
  • Vendor & Project Management: Experience acting as a primary point of contact for vendors, with the demonstrated ability to eventually manage external contractors or support teams
  • Bias for Action: You are obsessive about unblocking users quickly, prioritizing a seamless internal user experience

  • Resourcefulness: You know how to leverage internal software engineers to build solutions, while independently managing vendors and contractors
More about this role

At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.
