Cyber Security Certificate Jobs (NOW HIRING)

As Iterative Health's first dedicated cybersecurity hire, you won't be stepping into an existing security program-you'll be building it. This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead the company's cybersecurity strategy, creating the foundation that will protect our people, technology, data, and business as we continue to scale.

In this role, you'll own the end-to-end security landscape, including our AWS cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, SaaS ecosystem, endpoint security, sensitive clinical and patient data, and the security and compliance frameworks that support our business. You'll work cross-functionally with IT, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and business leaders to strengthen our security posture, reduce organizational risk, and embed security into every aspect of the company.

We're looking for a hands-on security leader who combines deep technical expertise with strong business judgment and a builder's mindset. You'll be equally comfortable architecting security solutions, responding to evolving threats, developing policies and controls, and influencing stakeholders across the organization. This is an opportunity to create a scalable, modern security program that grows alongside a fast-paced healthcare technology company.
