## Description

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:**

-   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.
