Head of Information Security

Zinc has grown to 150+ people, we're scaling fast, and our information security function needs to grow with us. We need to continue maturing our InfoSec function in line with our rate of growth. That changes now.

We're hiring a Head of Information Security - the person who will own this function, define what good looks like at Zinc's scale, and build the credibility internally and externally that our customers, partners, and regulators expect. You’ll report into our General Counsel and work closely with our AI & Automation lead, operating in an environment where security is understood as a business enabler, not a blocker.

This is a step-up role. We're not looking for someone who has already done this job at a mature enterprise - we're looking for someone who is ready to own it now: hands-on, curious, and comfortable with the AI-native ways of working that define how Zinc operates. If you want to build something, not just inherit it, this is the role for you.

WHAT YOU WILL FOCUS ON FIRST

Establishing security maturity - Zinc is scaling fast, and we need our InfoSec function to keep pace. Your first 90 days are about understanding what good looks like at our stage and mapping the path to get there. 

AI security governance - Zinc is AI-native, which is an opportunity and a responsibility. You'll be in the room with our COO and AI lead regarding adoption decisions from day one.

Incident management ownership - you're the lead on any material incident. Not managing every P3/P4, but the name at the top of the escalation when it matters. Set up the playbooks, own the response.

Building the function - you'll have one direct report, our InfoSec Manager. Your job is to define what this function needs to look like in 2-3 years, and start executing.
