## About the role

Orbital has been scaling fast, and we’re scaling or security and compliance with it. We're hiring a senior, NYC-based InfoSec Lead to own our information security due diligence, compliance, and vendor risk end-to-end - bringing structure and consistency to work that's currently covered on a contractor basis.

## What they're looking for

- Significant senior in-house or scale-up InfoSec leadership experience : you've owned due diligence, vendor review, and compliance work end-to-end inside a fast-moving business, not just advised from the outside
- Strong understanding of cloud & cloud security, and ideally previous technical background in IT Security or SWE / DevOps
- A track record of scaling due-diligence processes , not just running them manually, you know how to spot what can be templated, automated, or self-served, and you make that happen rather than just wishing for it
- Comfortable being close to engineering : you don't need to write code, but you're happy sitting in technical conversations, understanding product changes, and knowing enough about IT systems to weigh in sensibly on security-sensitive changes
- Pragmatic and delivery-focused : you know the difference between a genuine risk and a distraction, and you keep due diligence and audit work moving at commercial pace rather than becoming a bottleneck
- AI-literacy with working familiarity with AI governance (ISO 42001, EU AI Act etc)
