This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Chief Information Security Officer in United States.

This role is a strategic leadership position responsible for defining, executing, and continuously improving the enterprise-wide information security program.

This position requires close collaboration with executive leadership, IT, legal, and engineering teams to embed security into business processes and technology development.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings deep technical expertise, and can balance strategic vision with operational execution.

• Provide executive-level reporting and guidance, influencing decisions and fostering a proactive security culture.

• 10+ years of experience leading enterprise security programs, with direct reporting to the CIO or equivalent.
• Proven expertise in security governance, risk management, compliance frameworks, and regulatory standards (e.g., NIST, ISO, CIS).
• Demonstrated ability to operationalize security policies, incident response, and audit readiness.
• Strong leadership and team-building skills, with experience managing multi-functional security teams.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of engaging with executives, technical teams, and business leaders.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to translate complex security challenges into actionable solutions.
• Preferred: Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, and experience with SOC 2/ISO 27001 audits or CMMC compliance.

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $275,000 to $300,000, plus potential bonus of 30–40%.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• 401(k) plan with competitive employer match.
• Progressive vacation policies and company holidays to support work-life balance.
• Financial assistance programs, including support for student loan repayment.
