The role offers the opportunity to scale systems, processes, and teams over time as the business

• Assess risk, prioritize remediation, and balance security requirements with operational velocity
• Help scale security capabilities and team structure thoughtfully over time
• Drive practical, modern approaches to security that support a fast-moving organization
What We’re Looking For
• Experience in information security or cybersecurity roles with increasing responsibility
• Hands-on background managing enterprise security tools and responding to incidents

• Strong understanding of identity and access management, email security, and SOC operations
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally
• Ability and willingness to work in-person from our New York office
Required Credentials
• CISSP certification required or actively working toward completion
Nice to Have
• Experience working in an agency, media, or high-growth creative environment
• Direct experience handling real-time security threats and incidents
• Experience working closely with Legal or Legal Operations teams
• Exposure to physical security platforms such as Verkada
• Experience supporting globally distributed organizations

Why This Role
This role provides the opportunity to take real ownership of information security at VaynerX, work
closely with senior leadership, and build security capabilities that scale with the business. It is best
suited for someone who values execution, accountability, and long-term impact.
