issues
. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
We are seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who will shape the future of cybersecurity across a dynamic, mission-driven organization. This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial, forward-thinking security executive to build and lead a modern, enterprise-wide security strategy that protects our people, platforms, data, and partners while accelerating innovation.
The ideal leader sees cybersecurity as more than risk management — it is a strategic capability that builds trust, enables growth, and creates competitive advantage.
