[Hiring] VP of Security @HubSync

Role Description

You'll be HubSync's senior security leader, responsible for security across our product, cloud infrastructure, corporate IT and compliance. You'll take over an established program:

• A dedicated AWS security and network operations partner
• A 24/7 security operations center (SOC)
• Regular external penetration testing
• Continuous AI-driven testing
• Company-wide device security and training

You'll own and grow that program, and you'll be the security voice our enterprise customers and board rely on.

What You'll Do:

• Own HubSync's security strategy, roadmap and budget, and report on risk and progress to the CEO and the board.
• Lead security across our multi-account AWS environment and our application platform, working with engineering as a partner.
• Lead application security practice across the development lifecycle, including code analysis, release testing and secure design review.
• Manage our security partners: AllCloud (AWS security and network operations), Sentry (SOC), LBMC (device security and training), and our external penetration testers.
• Own detection, monitoring and incident response readiness, including playbooks and tabletop exercises.
• Run our compliance program (SOC 2 Type II, plus other frameworks as customers require) and lead security reviews, questionnaires and audits with enterprise CPA firm customers.
• Set security governance for AI features: data handling, model and vendor risk, and customer data boundaries.
• Lead corporate and physical security for our US and offshore teams, including endpoint protection, identity, access reviews and security awareness.
• Build and lead a security team over time, and take ownership of the work our vCISO covers today.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in security, including 4+ years leading a security program at a B2B SaaS company that handles sensitive financial, tax or regulated data.
• Deep hands-on AWS security expertise, including WAF, Shield, IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub and multi-account governance.
• A strong application security background, including multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
• Experience securing AI and LLM products, including data handling, prompt-injection defense and AI vendor risk.
• Experience leading SOC 2 audits and enterprise customer security reviews.
• A track record of getting results from SOC, managed security and penetration testing partners.
• Incident response leadership.
• The ability to explain risk plainly to a board and work as a peer with engineering leaders.
• Experience supporting distributed teams, including offshore.

Nice to Have

• Experience in accounting, tax, fintech or professional services.
• CISSP, CISM, OSCP or AWS Security Specialty certification.
• Familiarity with ISO 27001, IRS Publication 4557, the FTC Safeguards Rule or GLBA.

Year One

• First 90 days: Take full ownership of the program and partners, and present your roadmap to the CEO and board.
• By 6 months: Lead customer security reviews end to end and run an incident response tabletop exercise.
• By 12 months: Complete a SOC 2 Type II cycle and make HubSync's security posture a competitive advantage with enterprise firms.
