The Opportunity

Cohere seeks a Chief Information Security Officer who can help shape Cohere’s security strategy & the broader conversation around securing AI at scale. You know how to build trust across organizations and communicate trade-offs clearly in environments where speed, innovation, and security must coexist. You will build the playbook and lead the evolution of Cohere’s global security program across corporate systems, cloud infrastructure, AI development, and enterprise operations. As a visible leader for Cohere’s security vision internally and externally you will navigate risk, represent Cohere in industry discussions, and reinforce our commitment to building AI responsibly.

In This Role You Will

  • Define and Scale Cohere’s Security Strategy: Define and execute Cohere’s overarching information security strategy in alignment with business priorities and long-term company growth.
  • Build a Modern Risk, Governance & Compliance Program: Lead Cohere in identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risk across all business functions.
  • Secure AI Systems and Technical Infrastructure: Lead the security architecture strategy across Cohere’s cloud and on-premises environments, ensuring resilient, scalable, and secure systems across the organization.
  • Lead Through Influence, Communication & Culture: Build and lead high-performing security teams across multiple disciplines while fostering a strong security-minded culture throughout the organization.
  • Enable Secure AI Adoption and Customer Trust: Partner with product, modelling, and engineering teams to support the secure development and deployment of AI systems and enterprise solutions.

This career opportunity may be a good match for you if you possess the following

  • A proven track record as a CISO or SVP of Security in high-growth technology organizations — ideally companies building or deploying AI systems at scale.
  • Strong experiences developing and executing enterprise security programs coupled with experience scaling security capabilities alongside company growth.
  • Deep expertise across cloud security, DevSecOps, enterprise infrastructure, and AI/ML security, alongside strong familiarity with modern regulatory frameworks, governance expectations, and compliance requirements.
  • Experience operating within public company environments and an understanding of the complexities of cybersecurity governance, enterprise risk management, audit readiness, and SEC disclosure expectations.
  • Experience preparing organizations for IPO readiness and scaling security programs through periods of rapid growth is highly valuable.
  • Experience leading large-scale security organizations, managing budgets, and building strong teams across multiple security disciplines.
  • An advanced degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field is preferred.

Full-Time Employees At Cohere Enjoy These Perks

  • An open and inclusive culture and work environment
  • Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research
  • Weekly lunch stipend, in-office lunches & snacks
  • Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget to take care of your mental health
  • 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months
  • Personal enrichment benefits towards arts and culture, fitness and well-being, quality time, and workspace improvement
  • Remote-flexible, offices in Toronto, New York, San Francisco, London and Paris, as well as a co-working stipend
