About the Opportunity

CarltonOne is seeking a Vice President, Information Security & Cyber Risk to define, scale, and operationalize our global security strategy. This executive will own the company’s security vision across IT Security, Application Security, Information Security, and Cyber Risk — ensuring that trust, resilience, and regulatory compliance are at the core of everything we build.

You’ll be responsible for setting the strategic direction for security, building a best-in-class security program, and leading a team that protects our global technology ecosystem, customer data, and intellectual property. This is a transformational leadership role with a mandate to mature security practices, align with global regulatory standards, and support CarltonOne’s continued growth at scale.

  • Build a culture of security awareness across the organization through executive engagement, training programs, and clear communication.

Application & Information Security

  • Lead the strategy and implementation of secure software development practices (SSDLC), embedding security from ideation through deployment.
  • Partner closely with Engineering and Product teams to integrate security tooling, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and code analysis throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Own the protection of CarltonOne’s data and information assets, including data classification, access controls, encryption standards, and incident response frameworks.

  • Develop and implement cloud security strategies as CarltonOne migrates to cloud environments.
  • Ensure secure architecture, identity management, and compliance for cloud-based services and infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to embed cloud security best practices into design and deployment.
  • Oversee enterprise cyber risk management programs — identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating risks across infrastructure, applications, and third parties.
  • Develop and maintain risk registers, metrics, and executive dashboards to inform decision-making at the highest levels.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and other international privacy and security frameworks.
  • Lead security audits and certification processes, ensuring successful completion with minimal operational friction.
  • Establish and maintain world-class incident response and business continuity programs, ensuring rapid detection, response, and recovery from cyber threats.
  • Oversee 24 / 7 security operations, including monitoring, threat intelligence, detection engineering, and vulnerability response.
  • Serve as executive lead during security incidents, coordinating communications, investigations, and post-incident reviews.
  • AI & Data Governance

  • Define and enforce governance policies for AI systems and data usage, ensuring ethical, secure, and compliant practices across all AI-driven initiatives.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate AI risk management into development lifecycles.
  • Establish frameworks for responsible AI, data privacy, and transparency in alignment with global standards.
  • Leadership & Team Development

  • Build, mentor, and lead a high‑performing global security team spanning information security, application security, and risk functions.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive measurable operational excellence through KPIs, maturity models, and executive reporting.
  • Qualifications

  • Deep expertise across information security domains, including secure application development, threat detection, data protection, governance, risk, and compliance.
  • Proven track record building and maturing security programs at scale — including governance frameworks, SSDLC practices, and risk management methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of security and privacy regulatory frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI‑DSS, GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence executive stakeholders and translate technical risks into business impact.
  • Experience leading audits, certifications, and regulatory interactions.
  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, CCSP, or equivalent strongly preferred.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Access to employee benefits portal for exclusive discounts.
