Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
Houston, TX (Hybrid)
Reports to: Chief Information Officer (CIO).
 
The Opportunity
This role goes beyond traditional security leadership. You will:
  • Architect the security foundation for a rapidly evolving, hybrid ecosystem spanning legacy platforms, modern cloud environments, and advanced data/AI capabilities 
  • Influence enterprise transformation, ensuring security is embedded into how we build, operate, and scale—not bolted on after the fact 
  • Elevate cybersecurity to a strategic business function, enabling growth, customer trust, and regulatory confidence 
  • Build and lead a high-impact team, shaping culture, capability, and long-term security maturity 
You will inherit an environment with real complexity—and real opportunity—including large-scale data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, and similar), legacy systems, and rapidly growing digital products. Your mandate is to stabilize, modernize, and future-proof.
 
What You'll Do
 
Define the Security Vision
  • Establish and execute a forward-looking cybersecurity strategy aligned to enterprise growth and digital transformation 
  • Position security as a business enabler, particularly across data, AI, lab operations, and customer-facing platforms 
 
Build a Modern Security Program
  • Design and implement end-to-end security capabilities across governance, architecture, engineering, and operations 
  • Introduce scalable frameworks for risk management, policy, and control standardization 
 
Secure Complex Data Ecosystems
  • Protect highly sensitive PHI, genomic, and research data across hybrid environments 
  • Partner with Data and Engineering teams to embed security into modern data platforms and AI/ML workflows 
 
Strengthen Architecture & Engineering
  • Lead the evolution toward zero trust principles, strong identity and access management, and secure-by-design architectures 
  • Address foundational gaps in logging, monitoring, access control, and environment consistency 
 
Operationalize Security & Resilience
  • Build or enhance threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management capabilities 
  • Establish robust disaster recovery and business continuity aligned to critical operations 
 
Drive Compliance & Trust
  • Ensure alignment with key regulatory and compliance frameworks (e.g., HIPAA, CLIA, and broader healthcare standards) 
  • Lead audit readiness and strengthen external trust with customers and partners 
 
Partner Across the Business
  • Work closely with lab operations, genomic technology, engineering, compliance, and commercial teams 
  • Drive shared accountability for security outcomes across the organization 
 
What Makes You a Strong Fit
  • Proven track record of collaborating across functions and influencing outcomes without relying on mandates, with a commitment to understanding all stakeholder perspectives and driving solutions that work in practice.
  • Proven success as a CISO, VP, or senior security leader in complex, regulated environments 
  • Experience building or transforming enterprise security programs at scale 
  • Strong background in hybrid architectures (cloud + on-prem) and modern security practices 
  • Deep expertise in: 
    • Identity and access management 
    • Security architecture and engineering 
    • Threat detection and incident response 
    • Risk and governance frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001) 
  • Experience securing data platforms and large-scale data environments (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, or similar ecosystems) 
  • Familiarity with or exposure to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Acceptable Risk Standards (CMS ARS) is a plus 
 
Leadership Profile
  • Strategic and forward-thinking, with the ability to translate risk into business impact 
  • Hands-on when needed—comfortable operating in both build and scale modes 
  • Strong communicator and influencer at the executive and board level 
  • Collaborative leader who can align diverse stakeholders across technical and non-technical domains 
  • Comfortable operating in an environment with ambiguity, urgency, and high expectations 
 
Why Join Us
  • Mission-driven impact: Your work directly contributes to better patient outcomes and the future of precision medicine 
  • Executive visibility and influence: Direct partnership with CIO and senior leadership 
  • Transformational scope: Opportunity to build a modern security program in a high-growth, data-rich environment 
  • Complex, meaningful challenges: Secure one of the most sensitive and valuable data ecosystems in healthcare 
 
Success in This Role
In your first 3–6 months, you will:
  • Establish a clear security vision and roadmap aligned to business priorities 
  • Deliver measurable improvements in risk visibility, control maturity, and resilience 
  • Implement foundational capabilities across IAM, monitoring, and incident response 
  • Build credibility as a trusted advisor and business enabler across the organization
