About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will own Caribou’s security and IT programs.
Your team includes three senior security practitioners and a senior IT administrator.
You set the direction, hold the strategy and vendor relationships, and keep the programs advancing.
Caribou's security posture advances year over year - the program has a roadmap, diligence reviews go smoothly, and findings reflect it.
SOC 2 Type II delivers clean with no surprises - systematic evidence collection, not a heroics sprint at audit time.
Detection and response capabilities improve measurably - SIEM, CrowdStrike, Wiz, and DLP are operationally sound and the team can say why.
GRC policy and control documents reflect how Caribou actually operates, not how it operated two years ago.
Licensed tools earn their keep - Google Workspace, Slack, Atlassian, Asana, 1Password, and Adobe are actively used, not just provisioned.
An operational AI enablement program that drives measurable adoption of licensed AI capabilities and a growing backlog of automated workflows.
IT operations run without drama - the MSP delivers, support is responsive, and productivity loss from tech issues stays low.
Every direct report has a growth plan, gets regular coaching, and is taking on more complex work than when you arrived.
The vendor portfolio - security and IT - delivers expected value and you can demonstrate it.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've delivered a SOC 2 Type II audit as the primary owner - the audit was yours to pass

You've worked in a regulated environment and understand how compliance obligations translate into operational controls
You've managed security vendor relationships - EDR, CSPM, penetration testing firms - and can tell when a vendor isn't delivering
You've run a SaaS portfolio for a growing company - licensing, governance, adoption, and the shadow IT problem

You’ve researched, planned, or executed a rollout of enterprise AI tools and have ideas of how to do it better
You've run identity and access management end-to-end - not just the policy, but the provisioning workflow and the audit evidence
