## About the role

We're hiring Pivotal's Head of Security, a senior leader who will own the company's security program from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to define what security looks like at a fast-growing, AI-native healthcare technology company handling sensitive provider data and complex financial workflows.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in security, with meaningful exposure to both technical implementation and program-level strategy
- Strong working knowledge of cloud security, infrastructure security, and application security fundamentals, enough to engage credibly with engineering teams and evaluate tradeoffs
- Experience building or significantly maturing a security program, ideally at an early-stage or high-growth company
- Hands-on experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar) including control design, audit preparation, and ongoing management
- Comfortable representing security externally to customers, auditors, and partners with the communication skills to make complex topics accessible
- A collaborator and influencer, not just a gatekeeper: you know how to bring stakeholders along and build trust across functions
