Security Leaders Who Enable Velocity
We find security leaders who make your engineering team faster, not slower. From CISOs who build programs from zero to hands-on operators who earn trust on day one. Every search is confidential by default. We reach candidates through referrals and closed networks that traditional recruiters can't access.
CISO / CSO
Security leaders who build programs from zero, earn engineering trust, and present to the board. without becoming the department of 'no'.
VP / Director of Security
Strategic operators who scale security teams and architecture in lockstep with your product velocity. They build the function, not just manage it.
Head of Application Security
AppSec leaders who embed security into your SDLC and enable developers to ship securely. They make secure code the path of least resistance.
Head of Cloud Security
Cloud-native architects who secure multi-cloud infrastructure without slowing down your deployment pipeline. They build guardrails, not gates.
Head of Detection & Response
Detection engineers and IR leaders who build hunting capabilities and response playbooks that scale with your growth.
Head of Offensive Security
Red team and pentest leaders who build offensive programs that make your product harder to break and your engineers smarter about security.
Head of GRC / Privacy
Compliance leaders who navigate regulatory complexity while enabling growth, not the kind who hand you a 200-page policy and call it done.
Security Engineering Lead
Hands-on builders who write tooling, automate security workflows, and build infrastructure that makes the whole engineering team more secure.
Calibrated for Your Growth Stage
A 30-person startup needs a fundamentally different security leader than a 500-person scale-up. We calibrate every search to your exact stage, challenges, and ambitions.
Early Stage
10-50 people
Your First Security Hire
You might not know exactly what this role should look like yet, and that's where we start. We help first-time founders define the role, understand the market, and make an informed decision. Then we find the hands-on operator who can build from zero: someone who sets policy, enables your engineering team, and presents to your board in the same week.
Typical Roles
Growth Stage
50-200 people
Scaling the Security Function
You're growing fast and need security to keep pace without becoming a bottleneck. We find leaders who build teams and implement frameworks that enable your engineering velocity, not slow it down.
Typical Roles
Scale-Up
200-500 people
Enterprise-Grade Security
Enterprise customers want SOC 2, ISO 27001, and mature programs. We find leaders who've built this before, people who can stand up compliance without killing your engineering culture.
Typical Roles
Enterprise
500+ people
Security at Scale
Multiple products, global teams, regulatory complexity. We find board-level security executives who can manage a multi-disciplinary organisation while keeping the builder's mentality alive. We've placed across borders in both directions: Australian companies into the US and international firms into Australia.
Typical Roles
Let's Have a Conversation
The best security leaders aren't on job boards. They're running programs and building security culture from the inside. They don't respond to recruiters, but they respond to us. Tell us what you need.
