Head of Security

Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. 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.
