Head of Product Security
We are seeking an experienced Head of Product Security to lead the strategy, governance and execution of security across the full product lifecycle. You will establish a proactive, risk-based approach that enables secure innovation while protecting customers, data and business operations. Working closely with engineering, product, architecture, infrastructure, legal and compliance teams, you will ensure security is embedded from product design through development, deployment and ongoing operation.
Your responsibilities will include defining and communicating a comprehensive product security strategy; setting standards, policies and secure development practices; and building effective security-by-design processes. You will oversee threat modelling, architecture reviews, vulnerability management, penetration testing, security testing automation and remediation tracking. You will also lead the response to product-related security issues, assess emerging threats, support customer and regulatory requirements, and provide clear risk reporting to senior leadership. A key part of the role will be developing and mentoring a high-performing team while influencing stakeholders across the organisation and strengthening a culture of shared security ownership.
We are looking for a strategic and hands-on security leader with significant experience in product or application security, preferably within a complex technology environment. You will have strong knowledge of secure software development lifecycles, cloud security, application and API security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, and relevant security frameworks and standards. Experience leading cross-functional programmes, managing security teams and communicating technical risk to non-technical audiences is essential. You should be pragmatic, collaborative and commercially aware, with the judgement to prioritise effectively in a changing environment. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are desirable.
