Head of Security
At Label Your Data, we are looking for a Head of Security who will build and lead the company’s dedicated security direction from the ground up.
Label Your Data is part of a group of companies with an existing centralized security function. Now, we are establishing a standalone security capability, closely collaborating with the group security team while taking ownership of security operations, processes, and long-term security strategy specifically for Label Your Data.
This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys building, shaping, and owning security environments in fast-growing tech businesses.
You will become the first dedicated security leader within the company, define the security roadmap, establish processes and standards, participate in technical decision-making, and gradually build your own team.
As the company and security function continue to scale, this role has a clear path toward evolving into a CISO-level position based on impact, ownership, and achieved results.
🔺 What you will be doing:
- Build and develop the company’s security function from the ground up;
- Define and implement security processes, policies, and operational standards;
- Partner with the group-level security department while establishing independent security ownership within Label Your Data;
- Participate in security audits, client security reviews, DPA processes, questionnaires, and compliance-related activities;
- Establish and improve access management and security monitoring practices;
- Participate in infrastructure and application security initiatives together with technical teams;
- Oversee and improve the company’s security stack (EDR, SIEM, VPN/ZTNA, DLP, NGFW, etc.);
- Investigate security gaps, operational weaknesses, and incident-related risks;
- Validate technical solutions from a security perspective;
- Create SOPs, internal security procedures, and operational frameworks;
- Own security-related documentation and internal processes;
- Shape the future security team, starting with Security Operations / Application Security;
- Contribute to long-term security strategy and overall security maturity growth of the company.
🔺 What We’re Looking For:
- 2-3+ years of experience in Information Security, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Security, or related areas;
- Mandatory experience working within IT / tech / B2B environments;
- Strong hands-on understanding of modern security practices and technologies;
- Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on;
- Strong ownership mindset and ability to work autonomously;
- Experience working with security tooling such as EDR, SIEM, NGFW, VPN/ZTNA, DLP, IAM, or related systems;
- Experience participating in security audits, compliance processes, or enterprise security reviews;
- Understanding of security governance, access management, and risk management principles;
- Experience building or improving security processes in growing environments.
🔺 Will Be a Plus:
- Strong technical background and ability to independently deep-dive into technical implementation details;
- Experience building security functions or teams from scratch;
- Previous leadership or mentoring experience.
🔺 Why Label Your Data:
- Competitive compensation in USD;
- Flexible remote-first environment;
- Greenhouse conditions for professional growth and self-development;
- Opportunity to build a strong and scalable security unit within the company;
- A role with real impact, ownership, and visibility.
