About the role

We're hiring a Head of Security to own our security program. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role: you'll be responsible for identifying the highest leverage ways to improve the company’s security posture and then build and personally execute that roadmap. You'll run the operational core of security, including risk assessments, audits, incident response, and policy questions, while working both with our MSP and across the org to identify and execute.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in security or information security, including direct ownership of a security program at a startup or growth-stage company
  • Experience running the operational mechanics of security: risk assessments, audits, access reviews, and incident response from detection through remediation
  • Working knowledge of HIPAA, HITRUST, and/or SOC 2 control frameworks, enough to support and operate controls
  • Experience with MSP relationships and cross-functional work with engineering to close security gaps
  • Comfort operating without a team initially: hands-on-keyboard, building the function before hiring into it
  • Strong communication skills, able to give clear, practical answers on what is and isn't permitted, and to represent our posture to auditors and enterprise customers, in addition to advising leadership on risk and strategy

Verse Medical is building the modern software infrastructure to make it happen.

Our values are the operating system for how we work together and with our partners. They aren't just words on a wall; they are the principles we bring to every decision, every day.

We are transparent, upfront and direct. We operate with honesty and clarity. We share information openly, the good and the bad, and believe that direct, respectful feedback is the foundation of trust and progress.

We value speed of iteration. We are building something new, which means we learn by doing. We prioritize rapid iteration and...
