📋 Description

• Own and evolve the enterprise security architecture for Fastly’s corporate IT and business systems, ensuring scalable, risk-aligned protection across a modern SaaS-first environment. • Define and drive technical security strategy across key domains including endpoint security, identity and access management, MDM, data protection, SaaS, remote access, and collaboration platforms. • Act as the security architecture lead for business-critical platforms (e.g., ERP, CRM, analytics), ensuring secure design, configuration, and ongoing risk management. • Embed security into system design and adoption, partnering with IT and business teams to ensure new technologies and workflows are implemented securely from the outset. • Lead risk-based security assessments across infrastructure and applications, identifying meaningful threats, control gaps, and pragmatic mitigation strategies. • Translate risk into action by defining clear, prioritized security controls and partnering with system owners and leadership to drive implementation. • Establish and maintain secure configuration standards and design patterns for enterprise tools (e.g., productivity suites, collaboration platforms, AI tools), ensuring consistent and scalable security practices. • Provide architectural guidance and advisory support to senior leaders and technical teams on high-risk or high-impact initiatives. • Partner cross-functionally with IT, Engineering, Legal, and business stakeholders to align security with operational and business objectives. • Continuously improve security posture by evaluating emerging threats, technologies, and architectural patterns.
