Job Description

So, what will your new role look like?

As Director, Security & Infrastructure, your role is to create the conditions for product and engineering teams to move faster with confidence. You will lead the infrastructure, security operations, and governance, risk, and compliance functions across Workleap and ShareGate, ensuring our environment remains reliable, scalable, and secure as the organization evolves. You will play a key role in supporting Workleap ’s shift toward a Full-Stack Builder model, where small teams own the full journey from insight to production. This means building a platform and security foundation that reduces friction, strengthens trust, and helps teams ship quickly without compromising reliability, security, or compliance.

Responsibilities:

• Improve platform reliability and scalability so product teams can ship with confidence across Workleap and ShareGate;
• Reduce security and compliance risk through guardrails embedded directly into delivery workflows;
• Increase engineering autonomy by reducing dependency on centralized infrastructure support;
• Increase system resilience and minimize service disruption through stronger observability, incident response, and proactive capacity planning;
• Elevate team impact and organizational leverage by building a high-performing infrastructure and security function;
• Improve executive decision-making with clear, business-relevant visibility into security, compliance, and risk posture.

What does your future team look like?

You will lead a platform-focused team spanning infrastructure, security operations, and GRC, supporting both Workleap and ShareGate. This team is evolving from a traditional support function into a platform enablement team, one that helps product teams move faster by providing reliable, secure, and easy-to-use foundations. Your role is to position this team as a force multiplier for engineering: reducing friction, increasing autonomy, and making security and infrastructure feel invisible to builder teams.
