CISO / Head of Cybersecurity (Valencia / Remote Spain)
Shape the future of cybersecurity at a high-growth, purpose-driven tech company.
We're partnering with a leading European tech scale-up in the wellbeing & sports space to hire their first CISO. Following a recent funding round and continued growth plans, the business is at a pivotal point - scaling fast, entering global markets, and closing enterprise-level deals that demand a mature security posture.
This is a foundational leadership role. You’ll take ownership of the security function from an early stage and help shape both the strategy and the team needed to support global growth.
The Opportunity:
* Lead the build-out of the cybersecurity department
* Define the security roadmap, policies, and tooling to prepare for further expansion
* Act as the executive face of cybersecurity internally and externally, working with major enterprise clients, answering due diligence, and enabling large-scale deals.
* Handle strategic alignment while ensuring autonomy and pushing back when needed
* Influence the global direction of a business at the intersection of digital health, technology, and lifestyle, with a leadership team that prioritizes wellbeing, flexibility, and trust.
Who are we looking for?:
* Someone who can own and grow the security function with vision and initiative.
* Experience leading a security org in a tech company or SaaS environment - or of leading a security division within a larger function on an international stage.
* Comfortable working across infrastructure, application security, compliance, and stakeholder engagement.
* Ideally experience with frameworks like ISO27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and dealing with vendor security reviews.
* Bonus if you’ve worked through PMI (Post-Merger Integration) or scaled security across multiple international markets.
* Fluent in both strategy and security literacy
