[Hiring] Senior Information Security Analyst @StackAdapt

Role Description

As a Senior Information Security Analyst on our Security Architecture team, you will play a key role in how StackAdapt secures its technology, systems, and people. Working closely with the Information Security Architect, you will execute the end-to-end security architecture process for a range of initiatives across the business. Engaging with business units, defining security requirements, and ensuring they are implemented effectively.

Beyond project work, you'll contribute to the broader InfoSec function:

• Support the team's use of security tooling
• Help the business with InfoSec queries
• Play an active role in how the team adopts and embeds AI into its work

This role follows established processes and frameworks, but we're not looking for someone who just executes tasks. We want someone who brings curiosity and initiative. You'll have real autonomy in how you manage your work, with the support and mentorship of the Information Security Architect.

You'll thrive in this role if you're someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in producing clear and useful security outputs, and wants to develop into a well-rounded security architect over time. A collaborative mindset, strong communication skills, and a genuine interest in the evolving security landscape, including AI.

StackAdapt is a remote-first company. This role is open to candidates in Canada and the US. We will be prioritizing candidates in Eastern time zones.

What you'll do:

• Execute the security architecture process for business initiatives — including new technology onboarding, tool integrations, and system reconfigurations — from initial engagement through to confirming requirements have been implemented
• Engage with project teams and the PMO to understand what is being built or changed, identify the security implications, and produce clear, actionable security requirements
• Support the Information Security Architect across their broader remit — contributing to analysis, reviews, and outputs as needed
• Develop a strong working knowledge of the team's internal security systems and processes, and identify and drive improvements where opportunities arise
• Act as a point of contact for InfoSec queries from across the business, handling requests independently and escalating where appropriate
• Use the team's security tooling including SIEM, EDR, CNAPP, vulnerability scanning, email and web security gateways, and AI security tools — to identify and analyse risk areas and support in driving down key risks
• Contribute to the team's adoption of AI tools in day-to-day InfoSec work, and support the broader AI security strategy

• Comfortable working autonomously on a varied workload and managing your own queue of work
• Strong communication skills - able to have productive conversations with engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders without being a blocker
• A curious, improvement-oriented mindset

• Understanding risk management: Identifying risks and understanding mitigation strategies
