About the Role

Council Capital is hiring a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to own and scale its information security program in a regulated healthcare environment.

  • Design and maintain secure cloud, data, and application architectures.
  • Lead vulnerability management, incident response, and remediation efforts.
  • Establish and track measurable security KPIs and dashboards.
  • Partner with Sales on customer security reviews, audits, and due diligence.
  • Balance security rigor with speed, usability, and business outcomes.
  • Advise executive leadership on security risk and readiness.
  • Build and lead a lean, high-impact security function using internal and external resources.

What We're Looking For

  • Significant experience securing healthcare or other regulated data environments.
  • Senior security leadership experience (CISO, VP Security, or equivalent).
  • Experience operating in early-stage or scaling technology companies.
  • Hands-on, execution-oriented leadership style (player-coach).
  • Public cloud security experience (AWS and/or Azure), preferably using Infrastructure as Code.
  • Familiarity with common security frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001).
  • Relevant security certification (e.g., CISSP or CISM).

Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting government or public-sector clients.

Technical Stack

  • Public cloud environments (AWS and Azure)
  • Infrastructure as Code
  • Containers and orchestration
  • Modern data platforms and emerging AI use cases

Team & Environment

This is a player-coach role, building and leading a lean, high-impact security function.

Company Culture

  • Strong judgment and risk-based decision making.
  • Uncompromising integrity.
  • Pragmatic problem solving.
  • Ability to navigate and resolve conflict productively.
  • High energy, ownership, and bias for action.
  • Clear and confident executive communication.
  • Collaborative, team-oriented leadership style.
