Job Description

The Director, Product
Security Strategy & Enablement
is responsible for defining
and operating the Product Security operating model and driving portfolio-level
execution across the department. This leader translates Product Security
strategy into scalable processes, governance, and execution — providing
portfolio-level structure, visibility, and enablement so that work
is prioritized, tracked, and reported consistently. Through standardization,
automation, and AI-enabled capabilities, this role enables predictable delivery
and measurable risk reduction across the program.

This position sits
within a unified Product Security department — established to address
an accelerating, AI-driven threat landscape with enterprise-wide scope across
corporate and hotel-managed environments. Reporting to the Head of Product
Security, this role provides the connective operating discipline across
the Vulnerability Management, Exposure Management, Application Security,
and Remediation and Response
functions, ensuring the organization
operates cohesively as a whole rather than as separate
workstreams.

 

Your Day to Day

font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px;">
  • Set and operationalize
    Product Security strategy
    across people, process, and tooling —
    defining the roadmap, setting OKRs, and running planning, prioritization,
    and review cadences that translate strategy into
    execution.
  • Establish and operate the Product Security operating
    model
    — including documented processes, decision forums, decision
    rights, execution standards, and governance cadences across all
    workstreams.
  • Provide portfolio-level structure and executive
    visibility
    into outcomes — ensuring work across Vulnerability
    Management, Exposure Management, Application Security, and Remediation
    and Response is prioritized, tracked, and consistently reported through KPIs,
    leadership updates, and monthly and quarterly business
    reviews.
  • Own portfolio, budget, and vendor management
    including budget forecasting, the security tool portfolio, renewals, statements
    of work, and vendor performance — in partnership with Finance
    and Procurement.
  • Define, enforce, and mature secure SDLC
    governance
    — establishing mandatory security requirements and quality
    gates across planning, design, build, release, and operate; governing threat
    modeling standards and integration; and managing exceptions, risk acceptances,
    compensating controls, and their expirations.
  • Lead continuous
    compliance and audit enablement
    for product-security-related controls —
    coordinating evidence, embedding and monitoring controls, and driving
    remediation of audit findings to closure.
  • Govern large and/or
    complex remediation programs
    — providing program-level structure,
    milestones, and escalation paths — and enable scale and efficiency through
    process standardization, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities that reduce
    manual effort and increase execution consistency.
  • Lead, coach,
    and develop the portfolio, programs, and compliance functions
    while
    partnering with Product Security leaders and cross-functional stakeholders
    across ETS, the broader Product and Technology organization, business
    information security officers, centers of excellence, Finance, and Procurement
    to align strategy, delivery,
    and measurement.


 

What We Need
From You

  • 10+ years of progressive security experience
    across multiple disciplines, technologies, or processes, including 5+
    years
    establishing organizational structure and managing subordinate
    teams.
  • Substantial leadership-level experience across product
    and application security domains
    — vulnerability management,
    application and API security, exposure and attack-surface management,
    and remediation operations — with a thorough understanding of the software
    and system development lifecycle.
  • Expert in secure SDLC
    governance, security controls, and quality gates
    , with familiarity
    across the full lifecycle tooling ecosystem including SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets
    detection, API security, cloud posture, and attack-surface and asset-management
    tooling.
  • Demonstrated experience defining and operating
    an operating model
    — processes, governance, decision forums,
    and execution cadence — across multiple functions or workstreams, with strong
    portfolio and program management capability from conception through
    implementation (milestones, risks, success criteria).
  • Proven
    experience owning budgets, tool portfolios, statements of work, vendor
    contracts, and vendor performance
    , with general knowledge of budgeting,
    cost estimation, and scheduling; skilled at defining KPIs and metrics
    and driving maturity improvement with strong executive
    reporting.
  • Working knowledge of compliance and audit
    enablement
    for product-security-related controls (e.g., PCI, SOX),
    including evidence coordination and control monitoring, and familiarity applying
    automation and AI-enabled capabilities to scale security
    workflows.
  • Demonstrated effectiveness in executive presentation,
    escalation management, and leadership by influence
    — able to build
    relationships with senior technology and business leaders, adapt to multiple
    management styles, and communicate highly technical information clearly across
    all levels of the organization.
  • Proven change agent and team
    builder
    — result-focused, action-oriented, and able to manage changing
    priorities in a highly dynamic environment while leading, developing,
    and inspiring multi-disciplined
    teams.
