CLI Take

Broader than the title suggests

This role reads SVP-equivalent despite being advertised as “Vice President, Information Security” — the stated scope is wider than the employer's title implies. CLI's analysis of the posting describes a strategic build or transformation mandate, and it carries board-level exposure and carries SOC 2 and CCPA accountability. The posting reads closer to an individual contributor mandate: hands-on delivery expected. The reporting line, total compensation and team size are not disclosed and remain the main open questions before pursuing it.
