About This Role
Strava's Cybersecurity team protects the trust of over 200 million athletes by securing our platform, our data, and the systems our community depends on every day.

This is a highly technical leadership role. You'll define the long-term roadmap and operating model for the function, including which capabilities Strava owns internally versus delivers through strategic partners, while balancing strategic leadership with execution and making risk-based decisions that strengthen security without slowing the business down.

Build an operating model that combines internal engineering with strategic partners, determining what should be owned in-house and holding vendors accountable for measurable security outcomes.
Architect and evolve Strava's identity and access management platform, including SSO, MFA, privileged access, identity governance, lifecycle automation, and Zero Trust principles across cloud and SaaS environments.
Secure Strava's enterprise environment by driving the architecture, hardening, and automation of endpoints, enterprise networking, email, collaboration platforms, SaaS applications, and third-party integrations.
Develop and execute strategies for enterprise AI security, data security, vulnerability and exposure management, and continuous hardening of the corporate environment.
Partner closely with IT, Engineering, Legal, People, Workplace to build secure-by-default experiences.
Partner with the Detection & Response team during corporate-related security incidents.
Communicate priorities, risks, and measurable outcomes to the CISO and senior leadership.

3+ years leading security engineering teams, with experience coaching engineers while remaining technically engaged.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and executives through clear, risk-based decision making.
