We are looking for an experienced AI-Native Cyber Security Manager to join a fast-paced, high-growth venture operating as an agile start-up within an established corporate enterprise. Working fully remotely from a nearshore or midshore region, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and delivering core security solutions for a brand-new platform through to February 2027 using AI tools, agents, and automation to do the heavy lifting wherever possible.

• AWS Security Expertise: Strong working knowledge of AWS security architectures (Organizations, Control Tower, GuardDuty, Macie, IAM).
• AI Security Knowledge: Deep understanding of AI-specific risks, including prompt injection, data leakage, model misuse, and LLM-specific security standards.
• Agile and Start-Up Mindset: Comfortable in fast-moving, iterative remote environments, balancing speed with robust risk management.
• Framework Familiarity: Strong understanding of regulatory and compliance standards (PCI-DSS, ISO27001, GDPR, SOC).
