What You'll Accomplish

• Risk & Threat Assessment: Monitor geopolitical, environmental, physical and cyber threats globally. Run threat and vulnerability assessments for offices, offsites, events and executive travel destinations, and partner with Threat Intel & Investigations on threats directed at our employees and leadership.

• Policy & Strategy Development: Create and enforce security policies, standard operating procedures, emergency response plans and compliance standards worldwide, with a physical security strategy that scales as we open new offices and markets.

• Crisis Management & Incident Response: Lead responses to safety threats, travel emergencies and critical incidents, from workplace violence to natural disasters. Own incident command, the mass notification system, and business continuity planning with Legal, People, Workplace and IT, and run post-incident reviews that turn every event into lasting improvements.

• Team & Vendor Oversight: Manage security personnel, the security operations center (GSOC), and external guard, executive protection and technology vendors. Set performance metrics, manage contracts and budget, and hold partners to a high bar.

• Travel & Executive Protection: Oversee global travel risk programs, tracking tools, pre-trip briefings and high-risk journey management. Run the executive protection program for our CEO and leadership team, including advance work, residential security assessments and event security.

• Counterintelligence: Build Cognition's counterintelligence program to identify and counter efforts by foreign intelligence services and competitors to gain access to our people, technology and customers, including targeted recruitment, social engineering and elicitation. Provide regular counterintelligence briefings to executives and staff, especially before foreign travel, and partner with Threat Intelligence, the Facility Security Officer and government counterparts on suspected incidents.

• Federal Division Security: Interface with our Facility Security Officer, who owns cleared facilities and personnel security, to provide appropriate protections in support of our FedRAMP, ITAR and IL5+ operations, including physical access controls, visitor and foreign-national controls, and insider risk programs.

• External Partnerships: Build relationships with local and federal law enforcement, OSAC and peer security teams at other AI labs and technology companies to stay ahead of emerging risks and coordinate during incidents.

• Automate with Devin: Use Devin and other AI agents to scale the program: threat and travel monitoring, alert triage, reporting and the operational work that usually requires a large headcount.
