You’ll Own

- The security posture of Gong’s corporate technology stack, including AI security, identity, DLP and insider risk, EDR, MDM, browser security, SSPM/CASB, network security, and email and collaboration security.
- Zero Trust access policies for workforce and external users, along with hardening for macOS, Windows, and Linux endpoints, browsers, SaaS applications, and corporate networks.

- The evaluation and rollout of new security technologies, taking solutions from proof of concept through production.
- Automated workflows and API integrations that scale security controls without adding operational overhead or headcount.
- SaaS, third-party, and AI governance, including SaaS configuration reviews, vendor security assessments, access reviews, OAuth governance, posture remediation, and enablement-first guardrails for employee AI tools.
- Domain expertise for SecOps incident response and partnership with IT and R&D to embed security standards and operating procedures into day-to-day processes.

You’ll Solve

- How to protect a fast-growing SaaS company’s corporate environment across a broad and evolving technology stack.
- How to translate security risks into clear requirements, practical controls, and reliable production operations.
- How to strengthen identity, endpoint, SaaS, network, email, and collaboration security through a unified Zero Trust approach.
