As the Director of Information Security at Bezos Academy, you will be responsible for developing and implementing the organization's information security strategy. Working with leaders from across the organization, you will mature our information security practices, using industry-leading methods designed for our modern SaaS/PaaS environment. While you will lead a small team of security engineers, this is a hands-on technical role that will both set and implement policy across our Microsoft, AWS, and third-party software stack. You will be a player-coach, executing as well as leading the technical work (~50% of time) while mentoring and guiding your team to success. Your proactive and reactive work will be paramount to the safety of our students and staff, while safeguarding our intellectual property.
You are a seasoned professional with diverse experience in developing and implementing security policies and procedures in various environments. You are fascinated by this industry and use that focus to stay abreast of emerging security threats and the strategies to mitigate them. While proactive work is always the goal, when reactive work is required, you will spearhead the investigation by triaging, remediating, and reporting events. Ultimately, good information security begins and ends with our staff. You will use your deep understanding of our business units and ability to translate technical subjects to non-technical staff to enact information security practices.
You thrive in a fast-paced, start-up environment where you can put your skills to action in a modern technical stack using industry leading information security tooling. Above all, you are inspired by our mission to expand access to high quality preschool in under-resourced communities and motivated to set the standard for information security in the early childhood learning space.
