Partner with Engineering/IT stakeholders on secure lab/engineering environments (segmented networks, data handling, tool access). Manage third‑party risk and vendor relationships (MSP/MSSP, SaaS, hardware suppliers), including security reviews and contracts. Support audits and customer/partner due diligence (e.g., ISO 27001/SOC 2 readiness), ensuring evidence collection and control ownership. Experience and Qualifications 7+ years in IT / infrastructure / security roles, with ownership of IT operations in a scaling environment (startup/scale‑up preferred). Demonstrated experience standing up security processes from scratch (policies, controls, governance) in a fast‑moving org. Strong working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and modern SaaS ecosystems, with security‑by‑design mindset. Hands‑on capability across identity (SSO/MFA), endpoint management, networking, and security tooling (EDR, SIEM/logging). Experience operating in engineering‑heavy environments (R&D, hardware, lab systems, HPC/compute, mixed OS/toolchains). Proven ability to drive risk‑based decision making and communicate trade‑offs clearly to execs and technical teams. Track record managing vendors/outsourcers/MSP/MSSP and holding them accountable to measurable outcomes. Familiarity with security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST/CSF, CIS Controls) and audit/evidence practices. Experience with compliance and data protection expectations (e.g., GDPR), and building pragmatic controls without slowing teams down. Leadership experience (direct or matrix) with the ability to coach, prioritize, and scale IT support as headcount grows. If you are a highly motivated and experienced Head of IT looking for a new, challenging and very rewarding role, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
