The Opportunity at Komodo Health Komodo Health needs a Director of Corporate Security who can assess the current state of our internal security environment and help drive strategic improvements across the company. This role will focus on protecting employee systems, identity, devices, endpoints, internal networks, business applications, vendor tools, and workforce-related security risk. The Director, Corporate Security will work closely with IT, Product Security, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and business leaders to identify gaps, improve execution, and put more consistent operating practices in place. This role reports directly to the CFO, and carries executive visibility from day one. The Director will be expected to operate at all levels — setting strategy, building the program, and getting into the details when it matters. Looking back on your first 12 months at Komodo Health, you will have… Delivered a rigorous current-state assessment of Komodo’s corporate security environment, with clear findings, ownership, and a sequenced improvement plan signed off by the CFO and CISO. Stood up or significantly strengthened core capabilities: device trust, identity and access governance, offboarding discipline, internal access controls, SaaS security posture, and external-sharing safeguards. Established a security program framework that can scale with the company — clear policies, documented controls, repeatable processes, and metrics that tell a real story to the board and auditors. Improved day-to-day security operations: tightened monitoring with our SIEM tool, reduced MTTD/MTTR on incidents, and introduced post-mortem discipline that actually improves things. Built practical AI governance guardrails for internal enterprise tools, with SSO, RBAC, approved-tool standards, and usage expectations employees will actually follow. Established yourself as a trusted, credible partner to IT, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, and Procurement — someone who makes cross-functional work easier, not harder. You will accomplish these outcomes through the following
responsibilities… Own corporate security strategy and execution across identity and access management, endpoint and device trust, internal SaaS security, data-sharing controls, workforce risk, and incident response for corporate assets. Build and maintain a multi-year corporate security roadmap, prioritized by risk, business context, and resource constraints. Present progress and risk posture clearly to the Komodo Executive Team. Lead security operations across existing tooling: Our existing EDR/MDR, email security, SIEM/monitoring tools , and evolving vendor stack. Own response coordination, remediation tracking, and escalation. Partner with IT to strengthen provisioning and deprovisioning, access reviews, device management, and internal network and application security controls. Hold the line on offboarding. Establish practical guardrails for internal enterprise AI use — approved-tool standards, SSO and domain capture, RBAC, retention, redaction, logging, and usage expectations. Partner with Product Security, Compliance, Procurement, and Legal on vendor security reviews, risk assessments, privacy and security questionnaires, and security
requirements for strategic software and AI vendors. Build and lead a high-performing corporate security team. Hire well, develop people, set clear expectations, and hold
the team to a high standard of execution and accountability. Represent corporate security in audits, investor diligence, customer security reviews, and regulator inquiries as needed. What you bring to Komodo Health: 7+ years of experience operating at the Director level or equivalent in corporate security, IT security, or security operations — with demonstrated accountability for program ownership, team leadership, and executive stakeholder management. Experience across both mature, compliance-minded environments (public company, regulated industry, or enterprise scale) and high-growth startups where you had to build from scratch. 5+ years of experience leading, managing, or developing high-performing teams. Proven track record building or significantly maturing a corporate security program at a startup or scale-up, where you owned the roadmap, made prioritization calls with limited resources, and shipped durable results. Deep fluency in corporate security fundamentals: identity and access management, endpoint security, device trust, internal network security, SaaS security posture, incident response, and access governance. Hands-on experience with enterprise security tooling — SIEM tools, modern EDR/MDR, modern email security, IAM platforms, and device management. Experience running a security program in an environment subject to external audits, SOC 2, or similar compliance frameworks. Comfort with auditor-ready documentation, evidence collection, and control testing. Strong cross-functional leadership. You have worked effectively across IT, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, Procurement, People, and business teams — and you know how to get things done through influence, not just authority. Clear, confident communicator at the executive level. You can translate technical risk into business language and present a credible security posture to CFOs, boards, and enterprise customers. Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or other sensitive-data environments handling PHI, PII, or proprietary clinical/commercial data. Experience communicating risks, gaps, progress, and recommended actions clearly to leaders and stakeholders with different technical backgrounds. Experience supporting audits, internal investigations, vendor reviews, security questionnaires, and environments that handle sensitive data. Strong judgment, leadership presence, and execution discipline, with the ability to stay calm under pressure and move work forward consistently. Expectations of AI Use in This Role Drive secure enterprise AI adoption by owning governance for approved tools — SSO, domain capture, RBAC, retention controls — that reduce shadow IT without slowing the business. Establish practical, enforceable controls for internal AI use cases: data handling standards, logging, redaction, access review, and a process for evaluating new tools before they proliferate. Use AI in your own workflow to improve IT Security operations, documentation, risk prioritization, and incident triage. Maintain clear human accountability for every decision. Additional skills and experience we’d prioritize (
nice to have)… Experience scaling a security program through a Series C–E or pre-IPO stage, with direct exposure to investor diligence, SOC 2 Type II, or early public-company readiness. Familiarity with Apple device management and mixed-device enterprise environments. Experience with security automation and tooling that improves team efficiency, detection quality, and response times. Background in offboarding and access governance at distributed organizations with significant SaaS sprawl. Experience evaluating, selecting, and managing enterprise security vendors through procurement cycles. #LI-Remote The pay range for each job posting reflects a minimum and maximum range of annual base pay that we reasonably expect to pay for this position within the US.
