We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward. ABOUT THIS ROLE Strava's Cybersecurity team protects the trust of a global community of athletes who rely on our platform every day. As the team scales its security program, we're rethinking how we assess and act on security risk: moving away from static, point-in-time risk registers and toward a living, data-driven view of where our real exposure lies. This is a role with a 70/30 split between hands-on execution and people management, reporting directly to the CISO. You'll build this function largely from scratch, standing up a repeatable process that turns various risk signals into a single, prioritized view that executive stakeholders can act on. You'll partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders across the business. We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office, three days per week. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own and advance Strava's security governance, strategy and risk management programs, leading a small team to help execute them - Build a repeatable process that turns risk signals (threat models, bugs, vulnerabilities, incidents, vendor assessments) into one prioritized risk view with defined risk acceptance thresholds and escalation paths - Own the AI and third-party risk management process — delivering risk insights that matter, not rubber-stamping compliance - Establish a security steering committee with relevant stakeholders to ensure alignment on risk tolerance and prioritization - Establish a multi-year, actionable security strategy, roadmap and investment priorities - Deliver regular, executive- and board-ready risk reporting - Partner across Engineering, Trust & Safety, Legal, AI Enablement, and other business functions, representing security in cross-functional planning and risk reviews - Identify and implement opportunities to use AI and automation to improve efficiency of risk workflows - Continuously evolve the risk methodology as new data sources, attack patterns, and business priorities emerge WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Cybersecurity or related field - 8-12 years of experience in security, cyber risk, technical security assurance or related technical risk roles - Security certifications e.g. CISSP, CISM, or other relevant certifications - Demonstrated success of standing up and managing security risk programs, treatment decisions and cross-functional execution end to end - Strong understanding of security controls and how to work with engineering on implementation details - Demonstrated track record translating technical security or threat findings into clear risk narratives - Hands-on technical fluency: you've personally read and interpreted threat models, vulnerability findings, or incident data, not just relayed summaries of them - Demonstrated experience using AI or automation tools to directly improve technical security or risk workflows (e.g., automating vulnerability triage, control testing, or risk scoring) - Experience handling ambiguity, driving accountability and working across multiple stakeholders - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to prepare and present risk reports to technical teams, senior leadership and board level executives - Experience managing and developing teams - Experience scaling GRC processes in a high
