• Lead security architecture reviews, threat modelling and technical assurance for high-risk AI systems, products and material changes.
• Establish and improve model-assurance requirements for third-party and open-weight models, including provenance, supply-chain risk, deployment configuration, vulnerabilities, updates and compensating controls.
• Define security requirements and technical evaluation criteria for AI security tooling; partner with operational teams on implementation, integration and lifecycle management.
• Support material AI security incidents and convert lessons learned into improved controls, standards and engineering guidance.
• Occasional domestic and international travel (approx. 5%) for meetings and collaboration.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated track record of delivering complex security initiatives from assessment and design through implementation, validation and operational handover, with measurable adoption and risk-reduction outcomes.
• Experience leading security architecture reviews, threat modelling and remediation through the software or product development lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of AI security threats and mitigations.
• Experience designing or assessing security controls across cloud environments, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, identity/access management and data flows.
• Ability to convert security findings and standards into prioritised technical requirements, clear delivery plans and implementable remediation guidance for engineering teams.
• Ability to participate in incident response and product security operations as required.
