About the Role: The Company is in search of a Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to join their dynamic team. The successful candidate will work closely with the CISO to define and execute the security strategy, roadmap, and priorities. This role requires a leader with a strong technical background in security architecture, engineering, and operations, who can provide hands-on technical review of security architecture, lead threat modeling, and drive secure-by-design practices. The Deputy CISO will also be responsible for security budget planning, vendor evaluation, and resourcing decisions, as well as leading or overseeing the response to major security incidents. Applicants must have a minimum of 12 years' of experience in security engineering, security architecture, or technical security leadership, with a proven track record of hands-on technical work. A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required, along with deep expertise in cloud security architecture, application security, and modern architecture patterns. The role demands a leader who can effectively communicate technical risk to non-technical stakeholders and who has experience building and leading technical security teams. Preferred qualifications include prior experience in a senior security role and certifications such as CISSP. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, with the ability to translate technical knowledge into concrete security controls, and will be dedicated to the mission of the company in transforming the life insurance experience.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
