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 subje
