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.


If you’ve made it this far, there’s a strong chance this role resonates with your experience and ambitions — we’d be glad to connect and discuss it further.

*We celebrate diversity and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
