Human Risk Lead

Role description

Role Overview

We're hiring a Human Risk Lead to own the human layer of security at Nscale: awareness, behavior, and policy adoption across our global AI infrastructure. This is a senior individual contributor role at the intersection of people, security, data, and program management.

What You Will Do

You'll build the function from the ground up, working closely with every control tower and partnering with Insider Risk, Detection Engineering, HR, Legal, policy owners, and compliance engineering. You'll create a program that treats human risk as an engineering and data problem—not simply a training problem—combining behavioral analytics, security telemetry, insider risk, and organizational insights to make risk visible, drive measurable behavior change, and build a culture where security is a shared instinct.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You'll have the opportunity to contribute to building the technology that powers the future, working in a collaborative, supportive, and innovative environment where your contributions spark real impact. You'll find a highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity), with performance reviews every 12 months.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in security awareness, human risk management, or security engineering with a human risk focus.
• Experience running a security training or awareness platform and developing role-based learning programs.
• Experience managing policy communication, attestation, and adoption.
• Hands-on experience with platforms such as KnowBe4, Hoxhunt, or SoSafe, including APIs and integrations.
• Data fluency, including the ability to join training, phishing, and identity data using SQL or similar tools.
• Experience using automation and AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual program work.
• Experience with phishing simulations, behavior-change approaches, and behavioral or insider risk signals.
• Strong metrics, reporting, program management, and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Ability to communicate security clearly and engagingly to non-technical audiences.
• Experience in a high-growth technology, regulated, critical infrastructure, or infrastructure environment; relevant certifications such as CISSP or CISM are beneficial.

Benefits

• Highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity)
• Flexible paid time off
• Parental leave
• Retirement plan participation
