Senior Director – SaaS, Cloud & Product Security

Role Overview

• Define and execute a multi-year product/security strategy and roadmap across AI, SaaS, cloud, and product lines; establish a durable operating rhythm.
• Operate, scale, and lead a product security organization (e.g., security architects, product security engineers, security champions enablement, AppSec tooling/program roles), including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• Ensure security is integrated into agile delivery through developer security training, design/architecture reviews, threat modeling, security user stories, automated security testing, penetration testing, and audit readiness.
• Serve as a senior security advisor to engineering leadership; drive secure-by-design decisions for multi-tenant SaaS, APIs, identity, encryption, secrets, logging/monitoring, and tenant isolation.
• Own or co-own secure development policies/standards, release security criteria, and “definition of done” expectations (e.g., required SAST/DAST/SCA gates; pre-release validation).
• Define requirements for OSS and third-party components, including provenance, vulnerability monitoring, and secure acquisition/maintenance practices.
• Establish measurable outcomes and reporting frameworks to track program effectiveness (risk reduction, coverage, remediation speed, escaped defects, incident trends) and guide investment decisions.
• Partner with product engineering groups as trusted security counterparts across architecture, design, deployment, and runtime operations; influence backlogs and roadmaps without slowing delivery.
• Support customer security reviews, attestations, and compliance-driven requirements by translating expectations into practical engineering controls and evidence.

Requirements

• 10+ years in security engineering and/or product security, with significant experience in cloud and SaaS environments.
• 5+ years leading managers and/or multiple teams, scaling security programs across multiple products or business units.
• Demonstrated success embedding security into engineering workflows (agile/DevOps) and improving release quality through automated testing and standard gates.
• Track record partnering with engineering leadership to influence architecture/roadmaps and drive remediation accountability.
• Experience supporting customer assurance and compliance obligations tied to secure development expectations (SSDF-aligned language helpful).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven people leadership experience building and scaling security teams.
