The way brands reach people is being rewritten — AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage. We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include 15% of the Fortune 500 like Walmart, Wayfair and U.S. Bank, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures — and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run. About The Role As our Head of Security you will build and lead the company's security program as it scales into a trusted enterprise platform. This is a foundational, high-impact role: you'll own security strategy end-to-end while staying hands-on, working alongside an existing Security Engineer to mature Profound's program from "does the right things" to "provably does the right things at enterprise scale." You'll also own IT for the company, making this a role that spans technical security leadership and the practical, day-to-day systems that keep the company running securely. This is a player-coach role. You should be comfortable setting strategy and talking to enterprise customers' security teams one day, and rolling up your sleeves on a threat model, an incident, or an endpoint policy the next. What You'll Do Security Strategy & Leadership Own and evolve Profound's overall security strategy, roadmap, and risk posture as the company scales Own the build-out and growth of the entire security function and team.

Comfortable engaging directly on application security, cloud security, and incident response Direct experience owning SOC 2 (Type II) and driving compliance programs; experience with additional frameworks (ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.) a plus Experience leading and developing a small team Comfortable being the face of security to enterprise customers, including technical security reviews and questionnaires Experience owning or partnering closely with IT function preferred Excellent communicator who can translate technical risk into business terms for executives and customers alike Why This Role Build a security program from the ground up at a company at the center of the shift to AI-driven search High visibility — this role sits close to leadership and directly influences enterprise sales and customer trust A strong Security Engineer already on the team, with a clear mandate to grow the function further Fast-growing, well-funded company (Series C, $1B valuation) with strong momentum Location This is an on-site role based in our Union Square, NYC office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
